Wee finde it common (but not comely thou) That, when a good _Endeavour_ is begot, Vnlesse, at very first, it equall grow With our Expectance, we regard it not. Nor _Wit_, nor _Patience_, have we to conceive, That ev’ry thing, which may by Man be wrought, Proportionable _Time_, and _Meanes_, must have; Before it can be to _Perfection_, brought. Yet, ev’ry day, in things of ev’ry kinde, _Experience_ hath informed us, herein; And, that, in many things, a change we finde, Which, at the first, would scarce believ’d have bin. For, though a _Gosling_ will not prove a _Swan_, _Vnruely-Colts_ become _well-trayned Steeds_; A _Silly-Childe_ growes up a _Mighty-Man_, And, _Lofty-Trees_ doe Spring from _Little Seeds_. Learne, therefore hence, that, nothing you despise, Because it may, at first, imperfect seeme: And, know, how all things (in some sort) to prise, Although, you give them not the best esteeme. From hence, moreover, learne; not to despaire, When you have just occasion, to pursue A toylesome worke, or any great affaire: Since, _all-things_, at the first, from nothing, grew. And, I my selfe will, also, learne, from hence, (Of all my Paines, though little fruits I see) Nor to repine, nor to receive Offence; But, rather joy in what befalleth mee. For, though my _Hopes_ appeare but meanely growne, They will be _Great_, when some shall thinke them none. _When we above the =Crosse= can rise, A =Crowne=, for us, prepared lies._ [Illustration: SVPERATA CRVCE CORONOR ILLVSTR.
