I Rather would (because it seemeth just)

Deceived be, than causelesly distrust:

Yet, whom I credited; and, then, how farre;

Bee Cautions, which I thought worth heeding were:

And, had not this been taught me long agone,

I had been poorer, if not quite undone.

That, others to such warinesse, may come,

This Emblem, here, hath filled up a roome;

And, though a vulgar Figure, it may seeme,

The Morall, of it, meriteth esteeme.
