                                For, by this Figure (which doth seeme to fill,<lb/>
                                Vntill the liquor overflow, and spill)<lb/>
                                Wee are, as by example, taught to see<lb/>
                                How fruitlesse our Intemperancies bee:<lb/>
                                Thus by the Rule of Contrarieties,<lb/>
                                Some Vertues, best are showne to vulgar eyes.<lb/>
                                To see a nastie Drunkard, reele and spew,<lb/>
                                More moves to Sobernesse, than can the view<lb/>

                                So, by the Vessels overflowing, here,<lb/>
                                True Moderation doth more prais'd appeare,<lb/>
                                Than by the meane it selfe: And, without sinne,<lb/>

                                From hence, let us be taught, that carefull heed,<lb/>
                                Whereby wee should both Minde and Bodie, feed.<lb/>
                                Let us, of our owne selves, observe the size;<lb/>
                                How much wee want, how little will suffize;<lb/>
                                And, our owne longings, rather leave unfill'd,<lb/>
                                Than suffer any portion to bee spill'd:<lb/>
                                For, what we marre, shall to account be layd,<lb/>
                                And, what wee wisely spend, shall be repayd.<lb/>
