A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne / Quickened With Metrical Illustrations, Both Morall and Divine, Etc. - George Wither

Thou, dost not greatly care, by whom

Thy wealth, or thy Preferments, come:

So, thou maist get them, Foole or Knave,

Thy prayers, and thy praise may have;

Because, thou dost nor feare, nor dreame,

What disadvantage comes by them:

But, by thine Emblem, thou shalt see,

That, Mischieves, in their favours bee.
