                                Thy present Fortune? overvaluing so<lb/>
                                Thy Person, or the beauty of thy Brow?<lb/>
                                And Cloth'd, so proudly, wherefore dost thou goe?<lb/>
                                Why dost thou live in riotous Excesse?<lb/>
                                And Boast, as if thy Flesh immortall were?<lb/>
                                Why dost thou gather so? Why so oppresse?<lb/>
                                And, o're thy Fellow-creatures, Domineere?<lb/>
                                Behold this Emblem, such a thing was hee<lb/>

                                Note those leane Craggs, and with what Gastlinesse,<lb/>
                                That horrid Countenance doth seeme to grin.<lb/>
                                Yea, view it well; and having seene the same<lb/>
                                Plucke downe that Pride which puffs thy heart so high;<lb/>
                                Of thy Proportion boast not, and (for shame)<lb/>

                                Live so, that Death may better thy estate.<lb/>
                                Consider who created thee; and why:<lb/>
                                Renew thy Spirit, ere thy Flesh decayes:<lb/>
                                More Pious grow; Affect more Honestie;<lb/>
                                And seeke hereafter thy Creatours praise.<lb/>
