IF here you meet with any worthless Line,
Humanum est errare Stamps it mine,
But if you find here any Worthy Line,
It from a Fountain flows that's more Divine.
So Read, as to commit to Memory,
All Sentences worthy that Treasury.
And so remember all, as that you may,
In season practice them; and so display
Their Influence, as Honour may redound
To GOD, and you may be with profit crown'd.
