<p>It prospers ever best, in all Estates,<lb/> When Mars and Pallas are continuall Mates.<lb/> And, those affaires but seldome luckie be,<lb/> In which, these needfull Powers, doe not agree.<lb/> That Common-wealth, in which, good Arts are found<lb/> Without a Guard, will soone receive a wound:<lb/> And, Souldiers, where good-order beares no sway,<lb/> Will, very quickly, rout themselves away.<lb/> Moreover, in our private Actions too,<lb/> There must bee both a Knowledge, how to doe<lb/> The worke propos'd; and strength to finish it;<lb/> Or, wee shall profit little by our Wit.<lb/> Discretion takes effect, where Vigour failes;<lb/> Where Cunning speeds not, outward-force prevailes;<lb/> And, otherwhile, the prize pertaines to neither,<lb/> Till they have joyn'd their Vertues both together.<lb/> Consider this; and, as occasions are,<lb/> To both of these your due respects declare.<lb/> Delight not so in Arts, to purchase harmes<lb/> By Negligence, or Ignorance of Armes :<lb/> If Martiall-Discipline thou shalt affect;<lb/> Yet, doe not honest-Policie, neglect.<lb/> Improve thy Minde, as much as e're thou may;<lb/> But foole thou not thy Bodies gifts away.<lb/> The Vertues both of Body, and of Mind,<lb/> Are, still, to be regarded in their kind.<lb/> And, wee should neither of the two disgrace;<lb/> Nor, either of them, raise above his place;<lb/> For, when these two wee value as wee ought,<lb/> Great works, by their joynt-power, to passe are brought.<lb/> </p>
