Samuel Butler (poet) Quote

To swallow gudgeons ere they 're catch'd,
And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.


Canto III, line 923 - Hudibras Part II (1664)


To swallow gudgeons ere they 're catch'd, And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.

To swallow gudgeons ere they 're catch'd, And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.

To swallow gudgeons ere they 're catch'd, And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.

To swallow gudgeons ere they 're catch'd, And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.
