Here Cain the first of Men by Birth , brings Offerings with his Brother ; Cain brings the first Fruits of the Earth , turn up and see the other .

The Lyon rouz'd his floating Mane , in Curls , displays his fire Breast , He Rampant breaths forth high disdain , lift up and see a stranger Beast .

But see what Providence hath done , the Child is safe , the Eagles flown ; His Heart now after Gold doth run , turn down and see what there is shown .

depiction of child holding a staff

What Stars can this my bliss destroy , that have so many Bags in store ; Vain Man forbear this flattering joy , turn down and thou wilt mind me more

depiction of man holding moneybags

Eve in her Virgins blush Array'd , her Face more fair , her smiles are freer ; But would you see a stranger Maid , turn down the Leaf and you shall see her

depiction of mermaid, holding a flower and combing her hair

Eyes look not on the Mermaids face , and Ears forbear her Song ; Her Face hath an alluring Grace , more charming is her Tongue . Here Abel comes and brings to God the best and youngest of his Fold ; But would you learn his period , turn down the Leaf and it behold .

depiction of Abel offering a burnt lamb on an altar

depiction of Cain wrestling with Abel

Accursed Cain ! what dost thou do ? must Brothers Murther thus begin ? And one Man dye , e're more then two as yet were born , to mourn thy sin ? The Griffins Head and Wings unto the Lyons Back and Legs are joyn'd ; Turn down the lower Leaf , and you a new and stranger sight shall find .

depiction of eagle with a swaddled baby in its claws

An Eagle here which is display'd , doth gripe ( alas ) a ●ovely Prey ; Why is there help so ●ong delay'd , to rescue this sweet Babe away ? Possest with Gold in every part , a sudden joy & health doth warm him , His heavy purse makes light his heart , and now he boasts what power can harm him

depiction of a purse of money

A Heart turn'd upside down , wholly fix'd on this worlds unconstant wealth ; Sick of a greedy Melancholly , turn up and find its way to Health . On this false World vain was my stay , and empty was my Laughter ; I go before and lead the way , and thou cam'st Jogging after .

depiction of skeleton holding an arrow and pikehead

Dropsies draw nigh , the Feavers burn him the Chollick girds and lays him waste ; Consumptions threat to dust to turn him , turn up and you shall read his last .
