48 Sufficit Vnum.

'T was a loud Lie (think I) a very Slander,
Th'Ancients ascribe t'ambitious Alexander,
Weeping for wo there were no mo Worlds made.
Suffiz'd not One, so busie and so bad?
If true it were, Great Monarch, cease to mourn;
And give Mee leave: O! let Me weep my Turn;
Who strain and strive, yet cannot all my Care
All Vanities of this One World declare.
