Classic Poem

Example doth your heart a warded chest ,
Deck't with rich Iewels, so are you invest
With many vertues, which inclosed there,
Argue that you rich warded chest appeare,
Rightly like to the chest where men put Gold,
Due warded , that the same it safe may hold.

Choise is the treasure that you have in you,
Having more worth than Gold, which worldlings sue;
In chest fast lock't of your sincerest brest,
Closely repose as in a warded chest .
How rich this chest is then, the grace within
Expresly shews those who this Gold have seene
Sure warded by the Lords eternall Spirit,
That caused you those riches to inherit:
Enherit still your rich and warded Chest ,
Reape so at last you have eternall rest.
