lmost evry thing you see From small at first to large did grow :Do but a little oft, and you Will find that little grow apace ;The Penny to the Pound accrue, And slow and sure oft win the race. GREAT BOASTER, LITTLE DOER. A LITTLE STREAM DRIVES A LIGHT MILL. THE Smith the fteele, Co tempers in the fire,As that it may indure flints ftroke and ire; The flint and flieel, gainfl: others while they ftrive, Give fparkles, which the tinder keeps alive ; Untill the fulphure to the match gives flame. Which keeps, and to the candle doth give the fame ; The candle thus lighted proper ufe hath none : Thus all ordained is for man alone. Dame Nature fo commandeth evry thing In his owne kind to ferve his Lord and King; Things of meere being, and which doe not live, As Elements, food to the living give ; The living herbs doe beafts with fenfe mainetaine. And thefe, to feede us, evry houre are flaine : So every thing is for the ufe of man. To God fhould he not doe then, what he can ? Far lies Emblems.
