and there at distance short, As though the very dogs to court;— Yet none the more the hare is won If that his dogs refuse to run : For hounds which hunt against their will, Were seldom known the game to kill. THERE IS NO DISPUTING OF TASTES AND FANCIES. LET EVERY TUB STAND ON ITS OWN BOTTOM. AM confumed with devouring fire,Whilft Vulcane gainft me doubles thus his ire : The hand, much like an Ifthme, doth feparate The flames, and doth it felfe praecipitate Into open danger, fhewing fo its love, The fcorching flames compels it to remove. A thriftlefTe hufband if he fpend his ftate,And fo the wife loving to goe too neat;Their ftocke and meanes quickely goes to decay,And late repentance comes, when alls away.But if a friend their ruine would prevent,And ftay their fall; be fure he fhall be fhent:He lofing labour fcarce fhall harmeleffe goe,They both againft him turne their malice fo.Oft times who parteth quarrels and debate,Againft himfelfe doth turne the parties hate. Farlies Emblems.
