                                Dame Fortune (for these Reasons) pictur'd, thus:<lb/>
                                She hath a Comely-body, to declare,<lb/>
                                How pleasing shee doth usually appeare<lb/>
                                To them, that love her Favours. She is blinde,<lb/>
                                (Or, hath still closed eyes) to put in minde,<lb/>
                                How blindly, and how heedlesly, she throwes<lb/>
                                Her Largesse, where her Bounty, she bestowes.<lb/>
                                She stands upon a Ball ; that, wee may learne,<lb/>
                                Of outward things, the tottering, to discerne:<lb/>
                                Her Ball hath wings ; that it may signifie<lb/>
                                How apt her Favours are, away to flie.<lb/>
                                A Skarfe displayed by the wind, she beares,<lb/>
                                (And, on her naked Body, nothing weares)<lb/>
                                To shew, that what her Favorite injoyes,<lb/>
                                Is not so much for Vsefulnesse, as toyes.<lb/>
                                Her Head is hairelesse, all, except before ;<lb/>
                                To teach thee, that thy care should be the more<lb/>
                                To hold her formost kindnesse, alwayes fast;<lb/>
                                Lest, she doe show thee slipp'ry tricks, at last.<lb/>
                                And, lastly, that her changing may be showne;<lb/>
                                She beareth in her Hand a Wayned-moone.<lb/>
                                By this Description, you may now descry<lb/>
                                Her true conditions, full as well as I:<lb/>
                                And, if you, still, suppose her, worth such honour,<lb/>
                                You have my leave to wooe, and wayt upon her.<lb/>
                                Moreover (to her credit) I confesse,<lb/>
                                This Motto falsly saith, her Ficklenesse<lb/>
                                Is like the Moones : For, she hath frown'd on mee<lb/>
                                Twelve Moones, at least; and, yet, no Chance I see.<lb/>
