[My Light is best maintain'd with little Oyle]

My Light is best maintain'd with little Oyle,
Too much of that which feeds me, doth me spoile.
Deluge of waters drownes the fertile ground,
Soft dropping raines makes it with grasse abound:
Riot in cheere the body kils and minde,
The meanest fare, the best for both we finde:
Rather in Mica than Apollo dine,
If thou wouldst wit and health still to be thine.
