EMBLEME 31.

See Bountie seated in her best of pride,
Whose fountaines never ebbe, ever full tide
At every change: see, from her streaming heart,
How rivulets of Comfort doe impart
To Worth dryde vp by Want; and to asswage
The drought of Vertue in her pilgrimage.
Looke, how her wide-stretcht, fruit-befurnisht hand
Vnlockt to true Desert, do's open stand:
But if she should not be Deserts regarder,
Yet is it, in it selfe, its owne rewarder.
This Emblem's not presented (Noble Sir)
Your bounteous nature to awake, or stir:
For you are Bounties Almner, and do's know,
How to refraine, destribute, or bestow.
