                                The shape of a triangled Pyramide,<lb/>
                                And, have observed well, those mightie Rockes,<lb/>
                                Whose firme foundation bides the dreadfull shockes<lb/>
                                Of angry Neptune ; you may thereby see,<lb/>
                                How firmly setled, Vertues reall bee.<lb/>
                                For, as the raging Seas, although they roare,<lb/>
                                Can make no breach upon the Rockie shore;<lb/>
                                And, as a true triangled Pyramide,<lb/>
                                Stands fast, and shewes alike, on ev'ry side:<lb/>
                                So, howsoever Fortune, turnes or winds,<lb/>
                                Those men, which are indow'd with vertuous minds,<lb/>
                                It is impossible, to drive them from<lb/>
                                Those Formes, or Stations, which those minds become.<lb/>
                                And, as the raging Sea, with foming threats,<lb/>
                                Against the Rockie-shore, but vainely beats;<lb/>
                                So, Envie shall in vaine, loud blustrings make,<lb/>
                                When vertuous resolutions they would shake.<lb/>
                                For, Vertue, which receives an overthrow,<lb/>
                                Was Vertue, not indeed, but in the show.<lb/>
                                So farre am I, oh Lord! from laying claime<lb/>
                                To have this Vertue, that, I doe but ayme<lb/>
                                At such perfection ; and, can come no nigher<lb/>
                                As yet, than to obtaine it in desire.<lb/>
                                But, fixe thou so, this weake desire of mine,<lb/>
                                Vpon the Vertues of thy Rocke divine,<lb/>
                                That I, and that invaluable Stone,<lb/>
                                May bee incorporated into One :<lb/>
                                And, then, it will bee neither shame, nor pride,<lb/>
                                To say, my Vertues, will unmov'd abide.<lb/>
