TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>Observe this Wheele, and you shall see how Fate<lb/>
                                Doth limit out to each man, that Estate<lb/>
                                Which hee obtaines; Then, how hee doth aspire<lb/>
                                To such a height, and, why hee mounts no higher:<lb/>
                                For, whatsoere their Authors understood,<lb/>
                                These Emblems, now, shall speake as I thinke good.<lb/>
                                The Cornucopias fastned to a Round,<lb/>
                                Thus fixt, may shew, that Riches have their bound ;<lb/>
                                And, can be raised, by mans pow'r or wits,<lb/>
                                No higher than Gods Providence permits.<lb/>
                                The placing of them on that Wheele, doth show,<lb/>
                                That, some waxe Poore, as others Wealthy grow:<lb/>
                                For, looke how much the higher, one doth rise,<lb/>
                                So much the lower, still, the other lies;<lb/>
                                And, when the height of one is at an end,<lb/>
                                Hee sinkes againe, that others may ascend.<lb/>
                                The many stops, which on this Wheele you spie,<lb/>
                                Those many obstacles may typifie,<lb/>
                                Which barre all those that unto Wealth aspire,<lb/>
                                From compassing the Round of their desire.<lb/>
                                The want of Wit, from Riches, barreth some;<lb/>
                                Some, cannot rich, because of Sloth, become.<lb/>
                                Some, that are wise, and painefull, are deny'd<lb/>
                                Encrease of wealth, through Pleasure, or through Pride.<lb/>
                                Some, lose much profit, which they else might make,<lb/>
                                Because of Conscience, or for Credit sake.<lb/>
                                If none of these did hinder, wee have store,<lb/>
                                That might bee Rich, who, yet, are very Poore.<lb/>
                                And, these, indeed, doe come to be those Fates,<lb/>
                                Which keepe most men, from getting large Estates.<lb/>
