This makes me, having acted what may seem
Injoyn'd by reason, leave the rest to him.
This makes me patiently to wait and heed
Mens counteractings, with what will succeed;
And, wait the more content, because I see,
That, sometimes things contemned useful be
In that which he at this time hath in hand,
If his intents, I rightly understand.
