140.C02.HE1 %XTo S%5r%6 Edward Herbert. At Iuliers.
140.C02.001 Man is a lumpe, where all Beasts kneaded Bee,
140.C02.002 Wisdome makes hym an Arke where all agree.
140.C02.003 The Foole in whome these Beasts doe liue at Iarre,
140.C02.004 Is sport to Others, and a Theater.
140.C02.005 Nor scapes hee soe, but ys hymselfe theyre Pray
140.C02.006 All w%5ch%6 was Man in hym, ys eate away,
140.C02.007 And now hys Beasts on one another Feede,
140.C02.008 Yett Coople in anger, and new Monsters breede.
140.C02.009 How happye ys hee, w%5ch%6 hath due place assign'd,
140.C02.010 To his Beasts, and disaforested hys Mynde?
140.C02.011 Empayld hymselfe to keepe them Out, not in,
140.C02.012 Can Sowe, and dares trust Corne, where they haue bin.
140.C02.013 Can vse hys horse, Goate, wolfe, and every Beast,
140.C02.014 And ys not Asse himselfe to all the Rest. [CW:(Else,]
140.C02.015 Else, Man not onelye ys the heard of Swyne, [f.42v]
140.C02.016 But hee ys those Devells too, w%5ch%6 did inclyne,
140.C02.017 Them to a headlonge rage, and made them worse.
140.C02.018 For Man can adde wayte to heavens heaviest Curse,
140.C02.019 As Soules (they say) by our first tuche, take in
140.C02.020 The Poysonous tincture of Originall Synne,
140.C02.021 Soe to the punnishments w%5ch%6 God doth flinge
140.C02.022 Our apprehension contributes the Stinge
140.C02.023 To vs, as to hys Chickens he doth Cast,
140.C02.024 Hemlocke, and wee as Men, hys hemlock tast.
140.C02.025 Wee doe infuse, to what hee ment for Meate
140.C02.026 Corrosivenes, or intense Colld, or heate.
140.C02.027 For God noe such Specifique Poyson hath
140.C02.028 As kills wee knowe not how; Hys fyercest wrath
140.C02.029 Hath noe Antipathye, But may bee good
140.C02.030 At least for Physicke, yf not for Food.
140.C02.031 Thus Man y%5t%6 might be hys Pleasure, ys hys Rod,
140.C02.032 And ys hys Devill, y%5t%6 might be hys God.
140.C02.033 Since then our Busines ys, to rectifye
140.C02.034 Nature, to what shee was, we are led awrye.
140.C02.035 By them, who Man to vs in little, showe,
140.C02.036 Greater then due, noe forme we can bestowe
140.C02.037 On hym: For Man into hymselfe can drawe
140.C02.038 All: All hys Fayth can swallowe, or Reason chawe.
140.C02.039 All that ys fill'd, and all that w%5ch%6 doth fill,
140.C02.040 All the rounde world, to Man ys but a Pill,
