An
hour is come, in which must be renew'd
That Work, which I have hitherto pursude;
And, I to utter what I have to say,
Will take the Kue that's offer'd whilst I may,
In hope that they, whose Prudence can descern
Those things which their well-being do concern,
Will hear and heed them, e're it be so late
That Premonitious will be out of date:
For, Opportunities may slip away
To morrow, which are offer'd us this day;
And 'tis all one to Wise-men, whether Strangers
Or Friends, premonish them of likely dangers,
Or, whether unto them, Alarums from
A Silver, or a Rams-horn Trumpet come.
