TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>A foole, sent forth to fetch the Goslings home,<lb/>
                                When they unto a Rivers brinck were come,<lb/>
                                (Through which their passage lay) conceiv'd a feare<lb/>
                                His Dames best Brood, might have been drowned there;<lb/>
                                Which, to avoyd, hee thus did shew his wit,<lb/>
                                And his good nature, in preventing it.<lb/>
                                Hee, underneath his girdle, thrusts their heads,<lb/>
                                And, then the Coxcombe through the water wades.<lb/>
                                Here learne, that when a Foole his helpe intends,<lb/>
                                It rather doth a mischiefe, then befriends;<lb/>
                                And, thinke, if there be danger in his love,<lb/>
                                How harmefull his Maliciousnesse may prove:<lb/>
                                For, from his kindenesse, though no profit rise<lb/>
                                To doe thee spight, his Malice may suffise.<lb/>
                                I could not from a Prince beseech a boone<lb/>

                                Nor, any Fooles vaine humor, sooth or serve,<lb/>
                                To get my bread, though I were like to starve.<lb/>
                                For, to be poore, I should not blush so much,<lb/>
                                As if a Foole should raise me to be rich.<lb/>
                                Lord, though of such a kinde my faults may be,<lb/>
                                That sharpe Affliction still must tutor mee,<lb/>
                                (And give me due Correction in her Schooles)<lb/>
                                Yet, oh preserve me from the scorne of Fooles.<lb/>
                                Those wicked Fooles, that in their hearts have sed<lb/>
                                There is no God; and, rather give me Bread<lb/>
                                By Ravens, Lord, or in a Lions Den,<lb/>
                                Then by the Favours of such foolish men:<lb/>
                                Lest, if their dainties I should swallow downe,<lb/>
                                Their smile might more undoe, me, then their frowne.<lb/>
