                                A costly Garden, in her best array;<lb/>
                                And, view the well-grown Trees, the wel-trimm'd Bowers,<lb/>
                                The Beds of Herbs, the knots of pleasant flowers,<lb/>
                                With all the deckings, and the fine devices,<lb/>
                                Perteyning to those earthly Paradises,<lb/>
                                Thou canst not well suppose, one day, or two,<lb/>
                                Did finish all, which had beene, there, to doe.<lb/>
                                Nor dost thou, when young Plants, or new-sowne Lands,<lb/>

                                But, them besprinklest, rather, some and some ;<lb/>
                                Lest, else, thou marre the Flowres, or chill the Seed,<lb/>
                                Or drowne the Saplings, which did moysture need.<lb/>
                                Let this experiment, which, to thy thought,<lb/>
                                May by this Emblem, now perhaps, be brought,<lb/>
                                Perswade thee to consider, that, no actions,<lb/>
                                Can come, but by degrees, to their perfections;<lb/>
                                And, teach thee, to allot, for every thing,<lb/>
                                That leisurely-proceeding, which may bring<lb/>
                                The ripenesse, and the fulnesse, thou expectest:<lb/>
                                And, though thy Hopes, but slowly thou effectest,<lb/>
                                Discourage not thy selfe; since, oft they prove<lb/>
                                Most prosperous actions, which at leisure move.<lb/>
                                By many drops, is made a mighty showre ;<lb/>
                                And many minutes finish up an houre :<lb/>
                                By little, and by little, we possesse<lb/>
                                Assurance of the greatest Happinesse.<lb/>
                                And, oft, by too much haste, and, too much cost,<lb/>
                                Great Wealth, great Honours, and, great Hopes, are lost.
