[When I this wisht-for light to tinne desire]
When I this wisht-for light to tinne desire,
I prostrate crave it from this flaming fire;
From whence if light come not in fitting time,
I am consum'd before the light be mine.
I prostrate crave it from this flaming fire;
From whence if light come not in fitting time,
I am consum'd before the light be mine.
Whose meanes are small, whom Fortune favours not,
They take their patrons mercy for their lot;
To them their supplications they direct,
Attending still with homage and respect;
Delay undo'th them, makes them spend their oyle,
Their hopes grow lesse, and greater is their toyle;
Unlesse their Patrons timely shew their love:
Our gifts, by timely giving, double prove.

Our gifts, by timely giving, double prove.
