                                (And spreads above, though streightned in below )<lb/>
                                Through adverse Winds, and many a Winters blast,<lb/>
                                Hath gain'd a faire proportion at the last;<lb/>
                                And, from a lowly shrub, is growne to bee<lb/>
                                A well-esteemed, and a goodly Tree.<lb/>
                                Thus, hath it chanced unto many a man:<lb/>
                                And, he that first in misery began,<lb/>
                                (So poore and meane, that very few or none<lb/>

                                Hath crept, and screw'd, and rais'd himselfe so high,<lb/>

                                Who sought to curbe him, when he first arose.<lb/>
                                This, I have seene; And, as wee seldome find<lb/>

                                Their wits and manners. For, prosperitie,<lb/>

                                Doth often blast them; and, somtime bereave them,<lb/>
                                Of what their Predecessors worth's, did leave them.<lb/>
                                Let, therefore, no man, feare when this he knowes,<lb/>
