(f) Such are, &c. from Petronius, Si bene calculum ponas, ubique fit naufragium. (f) Such are the proud Designs of human kind,
And so we suffer Shipwrack every where!
Alas, what Port can such a Pilot find,
Who in the night of Fate must blindly steer.

The undistinguish'd Seeds of Good and Ill,
Heaven, in his bosom, from our knowledge hides:
And draws them in contempt of human skill,
Which oft, for friends, mistaken foes provides.

Let Munsters Prelate ever be accurst,
(g) The German Faith, Tacitus saith of them. Nullos mortalium fide aut armis ante Germanos esse. In whom we seek the (g) German Faith in vain:
Alas, that he should teach the English first,
That Fraud and Avarice in the Church could reign!

Happy who never trust a strangers will,
Whose Friendship's in his Interest understood!
Since Money giv'n but tempts him to be ill,
When pow'r is too remote to make him good.
