 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
To the worthy and most happy gentleman, Charles Walgraue Esquire.
Like Tree like Fruite; this Prouerb's verifideIn nothing more, then in you, and your Sonnes;
Better dispos'd in life can nere abide:
For, life, in fullnesse, ofte to loosnesse runnes:
But yee in all Heau'ns Blessings do abound,
in goodnesse too: which iustly is renound.
