Sacks Uertue.
[I]
Ne'r trouble thy self at the Times, nor their Turnings,Afflictions run Circular, and wheel about:
Away with thy murmuring and thy heart-burnings
With the Juice of the Grape wee'l quench the fire out;
Ne'r chain nor Imprison thy Soul up in sorrow,
What fails us to day may be-frind us to morrow;
Let us scorn our content from others to borrow.
II
Though Fortune hath left us, wee'l strive to regain her,And Court her with Cups till her Favouret come;
Then we with a Courage untam'd will maintain her,
And silence the noice of the Enemies drumb:
We will fix her unto the man most deserving,
He'l keep her at work, as well as from starving;
She shall not hereafter be at her own carving.
