Observe the nature of that Fiery-flame, Which on the Mountaines top so brightly showes; The Windes from every quarter, blow the same, Yea, and to blow it out, their fury blowes; But, lo; the more they storme, the more it shineth ; At every Blast, the Flame ascendeth higher; And, till the Fuells want, that rage confineth, It, will be, still, a great, and glorious Fire. Thus fares the man, whom Vertue, Beacon-like, Hath fixt upon the Hills of Eminence, At him, the Tempests of mad Envie strike, And, rage against his Piles of Innocence; But, still, the more they wrong him, and the more They seeke to keepe his worth from being knowne, They, daily, make it greater, then before; And, cause his Fame, the farther to be blowne. When, therefore, no selfe-doting Arrogance, But, Vertues cover'd with a modest vaile, Breake through obscurity, and, thee advance To place, where Envie shall thy worth assaile; Discourage not thy selfe: but, stand the shockes Of wrath, and fury. Let them snarle and bite; Pursue thee, with Detraction, Slanders, Mockes, And, all the venom'd Engines of Despight, Thou art above their malice; and, the blaze Of thy Caelestiall-fire, shall shine so cleare, That, their besotted soules, thou shalt amaze; And, make thy Splendours, to their shame, appeare. If this be all, that Envies rage can doe, Lord, give me Vertues, though I suffer too.

The more contrary Windes doe blow, The greater Vertues praise will grow.
