GOOD PRECEPTS OR COUNSEL

 In all thy need, be thou possest
Still with a well prepared breast;
Nor let the shackles make thee sad;
Thou canst but have what others had.

And this for comfort thou must know,
Times that are ill won't still be so:
Clouds will not ever pour down rain;
A sullen day will clear again.

First, peals of thunder we must hear;
When lutes and harps shall stroke the ear.
