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

If this thy Chance hath done thee right,

Thou art, or hast beene apt to fight;

And, wilt upon occasion small,

Beginne, sometimes, a needlesse brawle.

To shew thee, therefore, thy defect;

Or, that thy folly may be check't,

And, fit thy minde for better things,

Thine Emblem, some good counsell brings.
