induce the Dove to take The Eagle for her mate,The Partridge to the Buzzard-hawk Will never link her fate;The Raven black weds not the Swan, Twas not by Nature meant,For Like with like alone, my friend, Can give the heart content. ^*zy&=^§*§; ENTRE GENS DE MEME NATURE THIS waxen torch is able to endureThe winds, when iEolus puts them in ure ;It leads the way in darkneffe of the night,And, though the ferene fall, it fhewes his Light:The candle ftill lurks at home, and there doth mowIts light, not caring how the winds doe blow,This as the houfes joy at home doth ftay,The other ftill abroad doth make his way. The hardy hufband from his houfe goes forth,Seeking to compafle bufinefs of worth;He failes by rockes and fands, earely and lateHe toiles, and feekes to purchafe an eftate:The wife at home much like a fnaile me fitsOn hous-wifry employing all her wits :UlyfTes in his travels hard did fhift,Penelope at home did ufe her thrift.
