You love the _Rich_; and, honour them; The needy-person, you contemne: Yet, _Wealth_, nor want of _Wealth_, is that, Which, _wretched_ makes, or _fortunate_: From other _Causes_, those things flow; Which, since, you either doe not know, Or, heede not much, this _Emblem_ came, That, you might learne to minde the same. See, _Emb._ XIII. _M_ 14 Thy _Chance_ is doubtfull; and, as yet, I know not, what to say of it; But, this I know, a foe thou art To what thine _Emblem_ hath, in part, Expressed by a _Mimicke Shape_; Or, thou, thy selfe, art such an _Ape_. Now, which of these, pertaines to thee, Let them, that know thee, Iudges bee. See, _Emb._ XIV. 15 Thy Vertues he may wrong, that sayes Thou spend’st thy selfe, in wanton wayes; But, some have thought, and sayd of late, That, those thou lov’st, consume thy state: Yet, spare nor _Time_, nor Substance, tho, Where, them, thou oughtest to bestow; But, to thine _Emblem_ turne, and, see When Life, and Wealth, well ventur’d bee. See, _Emb._ XV. 16 Though _Troubles_, you may have (or had) Enough, to make some others mad; Yet, be content: for, they, that are As weake, have had as much to beare; And, that, which _Malice_ did contrive, To make them poore, hath made them thrive. That _Emblem_, which, by _Lot_, you drew, Prognosticates, as much, for you. See, _Emb._ XVI. 17 Though, you suffer blame and paine, You, at last, may Comfort gaine, (Sharing _Honours_, truely gotten, When, your Foes are dead, and rotten) For, of this, you have a pawne, In the _Lot_, that you have drawne; And, by that, it may appeare, What your paines, and wages, are. See, _Emb._ XVII. 18 Take you serious heed, I pray, Whither, you doe goe to day; Whom you credite; and, for whom You, ingaged, shall become; And, unlesse you wish for Sorrow, Be as provident, to morrow: For, there are some traps and Snares, Which, may take you unawares. See, _Emb._ XVIII. 19 Your _Wit_, so much, you trust upon, That, weaker _Meanes_ hath yours out-gone; Sometime, you runne, when there is need Of much more _Warinesse_, then _Speed_. But, you, to _God_-ward, worse have err’d; And, yet, _Amendment_ is deferr’d. See, therefore, what your _Chance_ doth say, And, take good _Counsell_, while you may. See, _Emb._ XIX. 20 Take heed, you doe not quite forget, That you are dauncing in a _Net_: More, then a few, your Course doe see, Though, you, suppose, unseene to be. Your Fault, we will no nearer touch; Me-thinkes your _Emblem_ blabs too much: But, if, you minde, what is amisse, You, shall be nere the worse, for this. See, _Emb._ XX. 21
