14
It is conceiv'd, that meanes thou hast,
Or, might'st have had good meanes, at least,
To bring those matters to effect,
Which thou dost carelesly neglect;
And, good for many might'st have done,
Who, yet, hast pleasur'd few, or none.
If this be true, thy Lot peruse,
And, God's good gifts, no more abuse.
