ut the sweet concurrence of the heart. 166. LOVE, WHAT IT IS Love is a circle, that doth restless move In the same sweet eternity of Love. 167. DREAMS Here we are all, by day; by night we're hurl'd By dreams, each one into a several world. 168. AMBITION In man, ambition is the common'st thing; Each one by nature loves to be a king. 169. SAFETY ON THE SHORE What though the sea be calm? Trust to the shore; Ships have been drown'd, where late they danced before. 170. UPON A PAINTED GENTLEWOMAN Men say you're fair; and fair ye are, 'tis true; But, hark! we praise the painter now, not you. 171.

FOUR THINGS MAKE US HAPPY HERE Health is the first good lent to men; A gentle disposition then: Next, to be rich by no by-ways; Lastly, with friends t' enjoy our days. 181. THE WATCH Man is a watch, wound up at first, but never Wound up again; Once down, he's down for ever. The watch once down, all motions then do cease;
