WHat in this Emblem, that mans meanings were,

Who made it first, I neither know nor care;

For, whatsoere, he purposed, or thought,

To serve my purpose, now it shall be taught;

Who, many times, before this Taske is ended,

Must picke out Moralls, where was none intended.

This knot of Moones (or Crescents) crowned thus,

Illustrate may a Mystery to us,

Of pious use (and, peradventure, such,

As from old Hieroglyphicks, erres not much)
