Emblem. 86. De moro.

Qui pulchra affectat ardua perferat.

The same in English.

The mulbery in dry ground doth grow,
From whence the valley had the name,
By which the people sometime came
To Sion hill, but with much sorrow:
For, whylest they went, they thirstie were,
And water out of pits did draw,
At length they Sion fountaine saw,
Which they did labour to draw neere:
To vs affliction this valley is,
Which we with patience still must beare,
Sustaining all things with good cheere,
With Christs Church to receiue a blisse.
