Twelve

$\includegraphics[width=.5in]{Images/love.eps}$

Five colors blind the eye.
Five tones deafen the ear.
Five flavors dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Booty leaves no one at peace.
Therefore a sensible person prefers the inner to the outer eye.
They have their 'yes' and they have their 'no.'
