[Friend Larkin, if the World you figure]

Friend Larkin, if the World you figure,
You must not draw it round of Figure:
For, Sage should the compleat Round
In every part is perfect found.
So never can this VVorld bee; seeing
There wants the Chief, The chiefest Good:
And Nothing there (right vnderstood)
But Nothing hath (inconstant) Beeing.
