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

Of many goodly parts thou vauntst;

And, much thou hast, though much thou wantst:

But, well it were, that, lesse, thou hadst,

Vnlesse more use thereof thou mad'st.

That, therefore, thou mightst come to see,

How vaine unpractiz'd-vertues bee,

Peruse thine Emblem; and, from thence,

Take usefull heed of thy Offence.
