GOOD PRECEPTS, OR COUNSELL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: In all thy need, be thou possest
Last Line: Then lutes and harpes shall stroke the eare.


In all thy need, be thou possest
Still with a well-prepared brest:
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 wo'nt still be so.
Clouds will not ever powre down raine;
A sullen day will cleere againe.
First, peales of Thunder we must heare,
Then Lutes and Harpes shall stroke the eare.
