That is right this old man told you to shut your mouth. |
Died: November 1635
No one is really sure how old he really was at his death but he prescribes
"keep your head cool by temperance and your feet warm by exercise. Rise early, go soon to bed, and if you want to grow fat [prosperous] keep your eyes open and your mouth shut."1
