The Scourge of Folly | ||
To the deere memory of Mr. Thomas Francis of Northfolke, Brother in law to mine approoued friend R. R.
Fame , and my Friend, (who is most deere to mee)Haue made me so acquainted now, with Thee,
That, for that deere friends sake, and for thine owne,
Ile make thee longer, though not better knovvne.
Hee is most blest in hauing such a friend;
For, though Times change, thou holdst out to the end
One, and the same in loue; like that staid POWRE
Whome thou dost imitate: Then, Fortunes lovvre
Makes thee no Changeling: so, thy friend and mine
Still findes thy goodnesse, like that GOOD diuine.
So do as many as haue need of Thee:
For, thou to all art helpefull, kinde, and free.
The House, vvherein thou harbourst, shevves thy hart,
As it the Permors doth, that takes thy part.
The needy, neighb'ring you, can this auerre;
And so can others that do come from farre.
Who (vua-voce) say, they finde more good
In you, then Thousands of more liuelihood.
Then, least that goodnesse, Time should darken quite,
These Lines, past Time, shall keepe them still in sight.
The Scourge of Folly | ||
