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

If ought, thou purpose, to assay,

Pursue the same, without delay;

And, if thou meane to gather fruit,

Be constant in thy Hopes pursuit:

For, by thine Emblem, thou mayst finde,

Thy Starres, to thee, are well-inclin'd;

Provided, thy Attempts be good:

For, that, is ever understood.
