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

Thou art afflicted; or, ere long

Shalt sing some lamentable Song:

And, of those troubles, take some share,

Which, thou art very loth to beare.

But, be not overmuch dismayd,

Nor pine, what ere on thee be layd,

For, comfort shall thy joy restore,

And, make thee gladder, then before.
