                                This Hieroglyphick's meaning, ere you goe.<lb/>
                                The Sages old, by this Mercurian-wand<lb/>
                                ( Caducaeus nam'd) were wont to understand<lb/>
                                Art, Wisedome, Vertue, and what else we finde,<lb/>
                                Reputed for endowments of the Minde.<lb/>
                                The Cornucopias, well-knowne Emblems, are,<lb/>

                                And (if you joyne together, what they spell)<lb/>
                                It will, to ev'ry Vnderstanding, tell,<lb/>
                                That, where Internall-Graces may be found,<lb/>
                                Eternall-blessings, ever, will abound.<lb/>
                                For, this is truth, and (though some thoughts in you<lb/>
                                Suggest, that this is, often times, untrue)<lb/>
                                This, ever is the truth ; and, they have got<lb/>
                                Few right-form'd Vertues, who believe it not.<lb/>
                                I will confesse, true Vertue hath not ever<lb/>

                                For, these are things, which (often) those men gaine,<lb/>
                                That are more flesh, then spirit ; and, have need<lb/>

                                As, not to want those Toyes, for which wee crye:<lb/>
                                And, I had showne you somewhat of their store,<lb/>
