CONTENTEMENT PASSE RICHESSE.<br />

IGHT is the Torches life <strong>of</strong> heavenly kind,<br />

^1 Thus to a fraile <strong>and</strong> greafie mafle combind,<br />

To which the Painter beauty doth impart,<br />

Giving it gl<strong>of</strong>Te<br />

<strong>and</strong> colour from his Art.<br />

The painting's nought, light doth the Torch commend<br />

Which firft was framed onely for this end.<br />

It is our mind that doth our life approve,<br />

Shewing<br />

our race derived from above.<br />

Blind Fortunes goods, kins gener<strong>of</strong>ity<br />

Youths ftrength, <strong>and</strong> beauties curi<strong>of</strong>ity<br />

Make not, unlefle the fpirit doe us feafon<br />

With that Heav'n-bred fparkle <strong>of</strong> divine reafon.<br />

LIGHT ONELY is- MY<br />

PRAISE.<br />

FAR LIE'S Emblems.<br />

PRIDE THAT DINES ON VANITY, SUPS ON CONTEMPT.<br />
