THE shippe, that longe vppon the sea dothe saile, And here, and there, with varrijng windes is toste: On rockes, and sandes, in daunger ofte to quaile. Yet at the lengthe, obtaines the wished coaste: Which beinge wonne, the trompetts ratlinge blaste, Dothe teare the skie, for ioye of perills paste. Thoughe master reste, thoughe Pilotte take his ease, Yet nighte, and day, the ship her course dothe keepe: So, whilst that man dothe saile theise worldlie seas, His voyage shortes: althoughe he wake, or sleepe. And if he keepe his course directe, he winnes That wished porte, where lastingeioye beginnes. Demetrius Phaler. Tardè aggredere, quod aggressurus sis perseueranter prosequere. Nam vt inquit Greg. lib. 1. Mor. Incassum bonum agitur, si ante vitae ter- minum deserantur: Quia frustra velociter currit, qui prius, quàm ad metas venerit, deficit. Boni gubernato- ris est, ventorum se flatibus accom- modare: viri au- tem sapientis, ani- mi affectibus. Arist. apud Stob.
