In this our Emblem, you shall finde exprest A Man, incountring with a Salvage-beast ; And, he resolveth (as his Motto sayes) To live with honour ; or, to dye with praise. I like the Resolution, and the Deed, In which, this Figure teacheth to proceed. For, us, me thinkes, it counselleth, to doe, An act, which all men are oblig'd unto. That ugly Bore (wherewith the man in strife Here seemes to be) doth meane a Swinish-life, And, all those beastly Vices, that assay To root becomming Vertues quite away; Those Vices, which not onely marre our features, But, also, ruinate our manly natures. The harmefull fury, of this raging Bore, Oppose couragiously, lest more and more, It get within you; and, at last, appeare More prevalent, then your defences are. It is a large-growne Pig, of that wilde Swine, Which, ev'ry day, attempts to undermine Our Safeties Fort: Twas he, which long agoe, Did seeke the Holy-Vineyards overthrow: And, if we charge him not with all our power, The Sire, or hee, will enter and devoure. But, what's our strength, O Lord! or, what are wee In such a Combate, without ayde from thee? Oh, come to helpe us, therefore, in this Fight; And, let us be inabled in thy might: So, we shall both in life-time, Conquests have; And, be victorious, also, in the Grave.
