24. On a Pilgrime.

The weary Pilgrime, oft, doth aske, and know,
How farre hee's come; how far he has to goe:
His way is tedious, and his hart's oppprest,
And his desier is to be at Rest;
Our life's a Wayfare; yet fond Man delaies
T'enquier out the number of his Daies;
He cares not, Hee, how slow his howers spend;
His Iourney's better then his Iourneies end.
