AWAKE from sleepe secure, when perill doth appeare:
No wisedome then to take our ease, and not the worst to feare.
Still ARCHIMEDES wroughte, when foes had wonne the*towne,
And woulde not leaue his worke in hande, till he was beaten downe.
No suretie is within, when roofe alofte doth flame:
It is a madnes then to staye, till wee haue donne our game.
Yea, those that helpe deferre, when neighbours house doth burne:
Are like with griefe, to see their owne, with speede to cinders turne.
Then, cut of all delaies when daungers are begonne,
For if beginnings wee withstande, the conquest sooner wonne.
Temporis officium est solatia dicere certi,
Dum dolor in cursu est, dum petit aeger opem.
Horat. lib. 1. Ep. 19.
