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

Both learn'd, and wise, thou would'st become,

(Else thou hast much deceived some)

But, if thy hopes thou will effect,

Thou must not likely meanes neglect;

And, what the likelyest meanes may bee,

Thine Emblem hath advised thee:

For, by a Fowle, that's blockish thought,

Good counsell may to thee be taught.
