TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>A troubled Minde, ore-charged with Desires,<lb/>
                                Betweene great Hopes, and no lesse Feares opprest,<lb/>
                                And payned inwardly with secret Fires,<lb/>
                                Was thus, by some, in former times exprest.<lb/>
                                A Smoking Heart, they placed just betwixt<lb/>
                                A Fastned Anchor, and a Bended Bow;<lb/>
                                To which a Barbed-Arrow seemed fixt,<lb/>
                                And, ready from the Strayned-String to goe.<lb/>
                                The Smoke doth Sighes, the Anchor doth declare<lb/>
                                That Hope, which keepes us from Despairing quite;<lb/>
                                The Bowe and Arrow, signifie that Feare,<lb/>
                                Which doth, perpetually, the Soule affright.<lb/>
                                And, by this Emblem, it appeares to me<lb/>
                                That they which are with strong Desires opprest,<lb/>
                                (Though good or bad the Object of them be)<lb/>
                                In seeking Pleasures, finde no small unrest:<lb/>
                                For, they are not by Feares, alone, disturbed,<lb/>
                                But, as the Wiseman saith, ev'n Hope-Delayd<lb/>
                                Torments the Heart; and, when Desire is curbed,<lb/>
                                The Soule becommeth sad, and ill-apayd.<lb/>
                                A Groundlesse-Hope, makes entrance for Despaire,<lb/>
                                And with Deceiving showes the Heart betrayes:<lb/>
                                A Causelesse-Feare, doth Reasons force impaire,<lb/>
                                And, terrifies the Soule, in doubtfull wayes.<lb/>
                                Yet, quite neglect them not; For, Hope repells<lb/>
                                That Griefe sometimes, which would our Hearts oppresse.<lb/>
                                And, Feare is otherwhile the Sentinell<lb/>
                                Which rouzeth us from dang'rous Carelesnesse.<lb/>
                                Thus, Both are good: but, Both are Plagues to such,<lb/>
                                Who either Fondly feare, or Hope too much.<lb/>
