Boast Not

Yet, if thou sin in wine or wantonness,

Boast not thereof; nor make thy shame they glory.

Frailty gets pardon by submissiveness;

But he that boasts, shuts that our of his story.

He makes flat war with God, and doth defy

With his poor clod of earth the spacious sky.

– George Herbert, Perirrhanterium
