In fome extrcame, you often are,
And, (hoot too fhort, or elfe coo farrc
Yea, fuch an crrour, you were in,
When, for a Lot, you mov'd the Pin
For, one touch more, orlefle, bad layd
Our Index, where it mould have ftayd.
But, ifyou can be warn'd, by this,
To keepe the Meatu y
which oft you mifle,
You have obtain'd as good a L$t y
As any one, this day, hath got.
Among thefe Emblems, none the*re be,
Which, now by Lot will fall to thee 5
However, doe not thou repine
For, this doth fcemc to be a figne,
Thar, thou, thy Portion, (halt advance
By Vettne, not by fickle Chance.
Yet, nerethclefle, defpife thou not
What, by good ttntmt , may be go t.
