Good Actions, 'cause they suffer now and then,

For Doing well, as if some Ill were done?

Ere Plates extended are, they must abide

A thousand hamm'rings; And, then that which fill'd

So little roome, it scarce your Hand could hide,

Will serve a goodly Monument to gild.

So, he that hopes to winne an honest Name,

Must many blowes of Fortune undergoe,

And hazard, oft, the blast of Evill-Fame,

Before a Good-Report her Trumpe will blow.
