EPILOGVE

Although the Earth be fixt, those things that bee
In it are subiect to vncertainetie.
The same Soile brings forth ill, and well, procur'd
With the same cost, with the same paines manur'd.
And though Times course be Constant, he hath had
His intermissions too of Good and Bad.
Ther's nothing firme; Man, the Worlds spirit, is
In this vast Body full of Contraries.
And as the Bodies humors, so the Mind
Is now to better, then to worse inclin'd;
For who can euer find a man to bee
In equall temper, equall Harmonie?
Soe iudge of this. Here's all that wee can say
What this tyme will not doe, another may.
