In vaine faire Cynthia never taketh paines, Nor faints in foll'wing her desired Game; And, when at any Marke her Bowe she straines, The winged Arrow surely hits the same. Her Picture, therefore, in this place doth shew The Nature of their Mindes who Cynthia like, With Constancie their Purposes pursue, And faint not till they compasse what they seeke. For, nought more God-like in this World is found, Then so Resolv'd a man, that nothing may His Resolution alter or confound, When any taske of Worth, he doth assay. Nor, is there greater Basenesse, then those Mindes That from an Honest-purpose can be wrought By Threatnings, Bribes, Smooth-Gales or Boyst'rous-Windes, What ever colour or excuse be brought. You then, that would, with Pleasure, Glory gaine, Diana like, those modest things require, Which truely may beseeme you to attaine; And stoutly follow that which you desire: For, changing though the Moone to us appeare, She holds a firme Dependence on the Sunne; And, by a Constant-Motion, in her Sphaere With him, doth in Conjunction often runne: So, Constant-men, still move their hopes to winne; But, never by a Motion-indirect; Nor, will they stop the Course that they are in, Vntill they bring their purpose to effect. For, whosoever Honest things requires, A Promise hath of all that he desires.
