TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Experience proves, that Men who trust upon<lb/>
                                Their Nat'rall parts, too much, oft lose the Day,<lb/>
                                And, faile in that which els they might have done,<lb/>
                                By vainely trifling pretious Time away.<lb/>
                                It also shewes, that many Men have sought<lb/>
                                With so much Rashnesse, those things they desir'd,<lb/>
                                That they have brought most likely Hopes to nought;<lb/>
                                And, in the middle of their Courses, tir'd.<lb/>
                                And, not a few, are found who so much wrong<lb/>
                                Gods Gratiousnesse, as if their thinkings were,<lb/>
                                That (seeing he deferres his Iudgements long)<lb/>
                                His Vengeance, he, for ever, would forbeare:<lb/>
                                But, such as these may see wherein they faile,<lb/>
                                And, what would fitter be for them to doe,<lb/>
                                If they would contemplate the slow-pac'd Snaile;<lb/>
                                Or, this our Hieroglyphicke looke into:<lb/>
                                For, thence we learne, that Perseverance brings<lb/>
                                Large Workes to end, though slowly they creepe on;<lb/>
                                And, that Continuance perfects many things,<lb/>
                                Which seeme, at first, unlikely to be done.<lb/>
                                It warnes, likewise, that some Affaires require<lb/>
                                More Heed then Haste: And that the Course we take,<lb/>
                                Should suite as well our Strength, as our Desire;<lb/>
                                Else (as our Proverbe saith) Haste, Waste may make.<lb/>
                                And, in a Mysticke-sense, it seemes to preach<lb/>
                                Repentance and Amendment, unto those<lb/>
                                Who live, as if they liv'd beyond Gods reach;<lb/>
                                Because, he long deferres deserved Blowes:<lb/>
                                For, though Iust-Vengeance moveth like a Snaile,<lb/>
                                And slowly comes; her comming will not faile.<lb/>
