140.C08.0HE  [%XTo S:%5r%6 Edward Herbert.] At Iuliers.
140.C08.001  Man is a lumpe, where all beasts kneaded bee,
140.C08.002  Wisedome makes him an arke, where all agree;
140.C08.003  The Foole in whome these beasts doe liue att Iarr,
140.C08.004  Is sport to others, and a Theater.
140.C08.005  Nor scapes hee so, butt is himself theire praye,
140.C08.006  All w%5ch%6 was man in him, is eate awaye. [CW:And.]
140.C08.007  And now his beasts, on one an other feede, [51]
140.C08.008  Yett couple in Anger, and new monsters breed;
140.C08.009  How happie is hee, which hath due place assign'd,
140.C08.010  To his beasts, and disforrested his minde?
140.C08.011  Empail'd himself to keepe them out, not in
140.C08.012  Can sowe, and dares trust corne, where they haue bin.
140.C08.013  Can vse his horse, Goat, wolfe, and euerie beast,
140.C08.014  And is not Asse himself to all the rest.
140.C08.015  Else man, not onlie is the heard of swyne,
140.C08.016  Butt he is those deuills too, which did incline,
140.C08.017  Them to a headlong rage, and made them worse,
140.C08.018  ffor man can add weight, to heauens heauiest curse,
140.C08.019  As soules (they saie) by our first touch take in,
140.C08.020  The poisenous tincture of originall sin.
140.C08.021  So to the punnishments w%5ch%6 god dooth fling
140.C08.022  Our apprehension contributes the sting.
140.C08.023  To vs, as to his chickins he dooth cast,
140.C08.024  Hemlock, and wee as men, his hemlock 'taste.[sic]
140.C08.025  Wee doe infuze, to what he ment for meat,
140.C08.026  Corrosiuenes, or intense colde, or heat.
140.C08.027  For god, no such, specifique poisen hath
140.C08.028  As kills, wee knowe not howe; His feircest wrath. [CW:Hath.]
140.C08.029  Hath no Antipathye, butt maie be good [51v]
140.C08.030  At least for Phisick, if not for food.
140.C08.031  Thus man that might bee his pleasure, is his rodd,
140.C08.032  And is his Deuill, that might be his god.
140.C08.033  Since then our busines is, to rectefy
140.C08.034  Nature, to what shee was, wee are led awrye,
140.C08.035  By them, whoe man to vs in little, showe,
140.C08.036  Greater then due, no forme, wee can bestowe
140.C08.037  On him; ffor man into himself can drawe
140.C08.038  All: All his faith can swallowe, Or reason chawe.
140.C08.039  All that is filld, and all that w%5ch%6 dooth fill
140.C08.040  All the round worlde, to man is butt a pill.
