Exalt thou not thy selfe, though, plac'd thou be, Vpon the topp of that old Olive-tree, From whence the nat'rall branches prun'd have bin, That, thou, the better, mightst be grafted in. Be not so over-wise, as to presume The Gard'ner, for thy goodnesse, did assume Thy small Crab-Olive, to insert it, there, Where, once, the sweetest-berries, growing were: Nor let thy Pride those few old-boughes contemne, Which, yet, remaine upon their ancient Stemme ; Because, thy new-incorporated Sprayes, Doe more enjoy the Sunnes refreshing raies: But, humbled rather, and, more awfull bee; Lest, hee that cut off them, doe breake downe thee. Be wise, in what may to thy good, belong; But, seeke not Knowledge, to thy neighbours wrong: Be thankefull for the Grace thou hast receiv'd, But, judge not those, who seeme thereof bereav'd; Nor into those forbidden secrets peepe, Which God-Almighty, to himselfe doth keepe. Remember what our Father Adam found, When he for Knowledge, sought beyond his bound. For, doubtlesse, ever since, both good and ill Are left with Knowledge, intermingled still; And, (if we be not humble, meeke, and warie) We are in daily danger, to miscary. Large, proves the fruit which on the Earth doth lie; Windes, breake the twigge, that's grafted over-high ; And, he that will, beyond his bounds, be wise, Becomes a very Foole, before he dies.
