                                An Eaglet, perched, on a Winged-ball<lb/>
                                Advanced on an Altar ; and, have ey'd<lb/>
                                The Snakes, assayling him, on ev'ry side:<lb/>
                                Me thinkes, by that, you straight should apprehend<lb/>
                                Their state, whom Wealth, and Vertue, doe befriend.<lb/>
                                My Iudgement, by that Altar-stone, conceives<lb/>
                                The sollidnesse, which, true Religion gives;<lb/>
                                And, that fast-grounded goodnesse, which, we see,<lb/>
                                In grave, and sound Morality, to be.<lb/>
                                The Flying-ball, doth, very well, expresse<lb/>
                                All Outward-blessings, and, their ficklenesse.<lb/>
                                Our Eaglet, meaneth such Contemplatives,<lb/>
                                As, in this world, doe passe away their lives,<lb/>
                                By so possessing that which they have got,<lb/>
                                As if they car'd not, though, they had it not.<lb/>
                                The Snakes, may well resemble those, among them,<lb/>
                                Who, meerely out of envie, seeke to wrong them;<lb/>
                                And, all these Figures (thus together layd)<lb/>
                                Doe speake to me, as if these words, they sayd:<lb/>
                                That man, who builds upon the best foundation,<lb/>
                                (And spreads the widest wings of Contemplation )<lb/>
                                Whil'st, in the flesh, he bides, will need some props<lb/>
                                Of earthly-fortunes, to support his hopes :<lb/>
                                And, other-while, those things, may meanes become,<lb/>
                                The stings of Envie, to secure him from.<lb/>
                                And, hence, I learne; that, such, as will abide,<lb/>
                                Against all Envie, strongly fortify'd,<lb/>
                                Must joyne, great Vertues, and great Wealth, together.<lb/>
                                God helpe us, then, poore-soules, who scarce have either!
