<p>The Westerne-Indians, when they want a Fire<lb/> To warme their naked limbs, or dresse their Food,<lb/> At ev'ry need, accomplish their Desire,<lb/> By often rubbing of two Stickes of Wood.<lb/> From whence, these Observations we may take;<lb/> First, that in them whose Natures gentlest are,<lb/> A long Contention such a Change may make,<lb/> As did, before, scarce possible appeare.<lb/> Next, that when Two in Opposition bee,<lb/> Whose power and strength and Malice is the same,<lb/> Their strugling Hearts but seldome doe agree,<lb/> Till they beget, a Selfe-devouring-Flame.<lb/> And, thirdly, it informes, that those chast Fires<lb/> Which on Loves Altars keepe a Lasting-Heat;<lb/> Are those, which in two Hearts, two Like-Desires<lb/> Vpon each other, mutually beget.<lb/> Hence, therefore, learne thou, first, not to contemne<lb/> Their Mildnesse, who to anger are not prone;<lb/> Lest, many wrongs doe stirre up Fires in them,<lb/> And worke thee Mischiefe, when thou look'st for none.<lb/> Be wary, next, though thou thy selfe be strong,<lb/> How with a pow'rfull Foe thou dost contend;<lb/> For, they that wrastle in Contention, long,<lb/> Will, sure, beshrew their Madnesse, in the end.<lb/> And, if to warme thee by Loves Fires thou seeke,<lb/> Thy Peere in Yeares, and Manners, pray to finde;<lb/> Let both your Aymes, and Longings, be alike;<lb/> Be one in Faith, and Will; and, one in Minde:<lb/> So, you shall reape the fruits of your Desire,<lb/> And warme each other with a kindly Fire.<lb/> </p>
