                                When they at Schoole have certaine houres to passe,<lb/>
                                (To which they are compell'd unwillingly)<lb/>
                                Much time they spend in shaking of the Glasse:<lb/>
                                Thus, what they practise, to make-short their stay,<lb/>
                                Prolongs it more; for while they seeke to force<lb/>
                                The Sands, to runne more speedily away,<lb/>
                                They interrupt them; and, they passe the worse.<lb/>
                                Right so, in other things, with us it fares;<lb/>
                                (And, seeming wise, we act a foolish part)<lb/>
                                For, otherwhile, what Time alone prepares,<lb/>
                                We seeke to make the subject of an Art.<lb/>
                                Sometimes, by Rashnesse, we endeavour what<lb/>
                                We ought with Leisure, and Advice, to doe:<lb/>
                                But, if a good Successe doth follow, that,<lb/>
                                Our Wit was nothing helpefull thereunto.<lb/>
                                Sometime, againe, we prosecute a thing<lb/>
                                By Violence; when our desir'd effect,<lb/>
                                No other meanes so well to passe can bring,<lb/>
                                As Love and Gentlenesse, which we neglect.<lb/>
                                But, let this Emblem teach us to regard<lb/>
                                What Way of Working, to each Worke pertaines:<lb/>
                                So, though some Portion of our Hopes be barr'd,<lb/>
                                We shall not, altogether, lose our paines.<lb/>
                                Some things are strong, and, othersome are weake;<lb/>
                                With Labour, some; and, some with Ease be wrought:<lb/>
                                Although the Reed will bend, the Kexe will breake;<lb/>
                                And, what mends one thing, makes another naught.<lb/>
                                Marke this; And, when much Haste will marre thy Speed,<lb/>
                                That, then, thou take good Leisure; take thou Heed.<lb/>
