1005. GOOD MANNERS AT MEAT.
This rule of manners I will teach my guests:
To come with their own bellies unto feasts;
Not to eat equal portions, but to rise
Farced with the food that may themselves suffice.
Farced, stuffed.

1006. ANTHEA'S RETRACTATION.
Anthea laugh'd, and fearing lest excess
Might stretch the cords of civil comeliness,
She with a dainty blush rebuk'd her face,
And call'd each line back to his rule and space.

1007. COMFORTS IN CROSSES.
Be not dismayed though crosses cast thee down;
Thy fall is but the rising to a crown.

1008. SEEK AND FIND.
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.

1009. REST.
On with thy work, though thou be'st hardly press'd:
Labour is held up by the hope of rest.
