47 Sordescit & Surdescit.
Stay, Worldling, stay: Whither-away so fast?Hark, hark awhile to Vertue's Counsels Current.

Hee hies, flies, follows: as a rapid Torrent
Too-proudly swelling with som fresh Supply
Of liquid Silver from the Welkin gushing,
My warning (as a Rock) hee rouleth by
With roaring Murmur, sudden over-rushing.
