from Ordinary Graces
edited by Lorraine KislyThe Anchoresses Rule--c. 1220, England
The swine of gluttony has piglets with these names. Too Early is the name of the first, the next Too Fastidiously, the third, Too Freely; the fourth is called Too Much, the fifth Too Often. These piglets are more often born through drink than food.
I talk about them only briefly, because I have no fear that you feed them.
From the Anchoresses Rule
