Quod datur non perire, Epig. 43.
A Thief may break thy Chests, and steal thy gold,A fire consume thy Fathers House of old,
Debtors detain thy use and principal,
Thy sown seed bring thee no increase at all:
A crafty Harlot may thy Steward plunder,
Thy Ships and goods the rageing Seas sinck under:
‘What's on thy friends bestow'd is above fate:
‘Thy gifts thou still shalt have inviolate.
