I rather would (because it seemeth just) Deceived be, than causelesly distrust: Yet, whom I credited; and, then, how farre ; Bee Cautions, which I thought worth heeding were: And, had not this been taught me long agone, I had been poorer, if not quite undone. That, others to such warinesse, may come, This Emblem, here, hath filled up a roome; And, though a vulgar Figure, it may seeme, The Morall, of it, meriteth esteeme. That Seeing-Palme, (endowed with an Eye, And handling of a Heart ) may signifie What warie Watchfulnesse, observe we must, Before we venter on a weightie Trust : And, that, to keepe our kindnesse from abuse, There is of double-diligence, an use. Mens hearts, are growne so false, that most are loath To trust each others Words, or Bands, or Oath : For, though wee had in every part an Eye, We could not search out all Hypocrisie ; Nor, by our utmost providence, perceive How many wayes, are open to deceive. Now, then (although perhaps thou art so wise, To know already, what I would advise) Yet may this Emblem, or this Motto, bee Instead of some Remembrancer, to thee. So, take it therefore; And, be sure, if either This Warning, or thy Wit, (or both together) Can, still, secure thee from deceitfull-hearts ; Thy luck exceedeth all thy other parts.
