when God at first made man ,

having a glass of blessings standing by ;

let us ( said he) pour on him all we can :

let the world's riches , which disperséd lie,

contract into a span

so strength first made a way;

then beauty flow'd,then wisdom , honour , pleasure :

when almost all was out, god made a stay ,

precieving that alone, all of his treasure,

rest in the bottom lay,

for if I should (said he)

bestow this jewel also on my creature,

he would adore my gifts instead of me,

and rest in nature, not the god of nature:

so both should losers be

yet let him kept the rest,

but keep them with repining restlessness :

let him be rich and weary , that at least ,

if goodness lead him not , yet weariness

may toss him to my breast

I hope it will be helpful
