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

M 32

In Court, thou mayst have hope, to clime,

This present, or some other time;

But, something thou dost want, as yet,

Which, for that place, must make thee fit.

Presume not, therefore, on thy Lot,

Till, those accomplishments are got,

Which, in thine Emblem, are exprest;

And, then, march on, among the best.
