Encrease of wealth, through Pleasure, or through Pride.

Some, lose much profit, which they else might make,

Because of Conscience, or for Credit sake.

If none of these did hinder, wee have store,

That might bee Rich, who, yet, are very Poore.

And, these, indeed, doe come to be those Fates,

Which keepe most men, from getting large Estates.


In all thine Actions, have a care,
That no unseemlinesse appeare.
