God and Conscience tels truely what we are; and are not as we seeme

WHat thou art, aske thine Hart, and it wil show;
or, aske a Foe, that Conscience makes to lie;
But aske thou no Selfe-loue which cannot know:
no, aske a Friend, which can no ault espie.

If we could see our selues, then should we see
that we are nothing lesse then what we seeme;
Yet, some seeme farre worse than in Deed they be;
and therefore All, this Some doe not esteeme.

For, we know nothing wholy, but in part,
and, vnderstand but, what we know, by Sense:
We see the Face, but cannot see the Heart:
then showes betray our best Intelligence:
This makes all wise men, that such Secrets know,
To winne the World; a Shadow, with a Show.
