Felice chi puo.

Blest mote hee ever bee, who ever can
Compose the joyes, and sorrows of his mind,
Chuse truth from errour, flow'r from the bran;
Willing obey Gods sacred Lawes in kinde;
Decline the vice, to which hee's most inclin'd;
Richly contented bee, what ere God send;
28

Slight injuries, as chaffe before the winde,
Finde a fit wife, and faithfull bosome friend:
Who some, nay one, but all these things who can,
Is sure a threefold-blessed, tenfold-happy man.
