A Heart with Hand-in-hand, united thus, Makes here an Emblem not unknowne to us; And, 'tis not hard for any Vulgar wit, Without a Comment, to interpret it. But, though of ev'ry man confest it be, That Hand and Heart together should agree; And, that, what we in outward shew expresse, Perform'd should be, with inward-heartinesse. (Since, now the World, to such a passe is growne, That, all is not consider'd, which is knowne) I cannot thinke it altogether vaine, To speake of that, which may appeare so plaine. When thou dost reach thy hand unto thy friend, Take order, that thy heart the same intend: For, otherwise in Hand, or Heart, thou lyest, And, cuttest off a Member, e're thou dyest. Some, give their Hearts (as many Lovers do) Yet, are afraid, to set their hands thereto. Some give their Hands ; and, then by many a deed, To ratifie the gift, they dare proceede; Yet, keep their tongues from saying what they meant, To helpe excuse their hearts, when they repent. Yea, some can very cunningly expresse, In outward shew, a winning heartinesse, And, steale the deare affections they have sought, From those, to whom they meant, nor promis'd ought. Then, will they, if advantage come thereby, Make all their Deeds, for want of Words, a ly. Among Dissemblers, in things temporall, These Raskalls are the ver'est Knaves of all.
