TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Still fixt, and with triumphant Laurell crown'd,<lb/>
                                Is truest Wisdome; whom, expressed thus,<lb/>
                                Among the old Impresa's, we have found;<lb/>
                                And, much, this Emblem hath instructed us.<lb/>
                                For, hence we learne; that, Wisdome doth not flow<lb/>
                                From those unconstant men, whom ev'ry Blast,<lb/>
                                Or small Occasion, turneth to and fro;<lb/>
                                But, from a Settled-head that standeth fast.<lb/>
                                Who'ever shoulders, him, he gives no place;<lb/>
                                What Storme soe're, his Times or Fortunes, breath,<lb/>
                                He neither hides his Brow, nor turnes his Face;<lb/>
                                But, keepes his Lookes undaunted, ev'n in Death.<lb/>
                                The Laureat-head, upon the Pillar set,<lb/>
                                Thus signifies; And that Bay-wreath doth show<lb/>
                                That constant Wisdome will the conquest get,<lb/>
                                When giddy Policie prevailes not so.<lb/>
                                If, therefore, thou desirest to be taught,<lb/>
                                Propose good Ends with honest Meanes thereto,<lb/>
                                And therein Constant be, till thou hast brought<lb/>
                                To perfect end, that Worke, thou hast to doe.<lb/>
                                Let neither flatt'ring Pleasures, nor Disgrace,<lb/>
                                Nor scoffing Censures, nor the cunning Sleighs<lb/>
                                Of glozing Sycophants, divert that Race<lb/>
                                To which, a harmelesse Prudence, thee invites.<lb/>
                                Though others plot, conspire, and undermine,<lb/>
                                Keepe thou a plaine right Path; and let their Course,<lb/>
                                For no advantage, make thee change from thine,<lb/>
                                Although it (for the present) seemes the worse.<lb/>
                                He, thus that workes, puts Policie to Schoole,<lb/>
                                And makes the Machavilian prove a foole.<lb/>
