140.H03.001  Man is >>%Va<< Lumpe where all beastes kneaded bee
140.H03.002  Wisdome makes him %Yand%Z>an< Arke where all agree
140.H03.003  The foole in whome these beastes doe liue at iar
140.H03.004  Is sporte to others and a Theater
140.H03.005  Nor scapes he soe but as himself the prey
140.H03.006  All which was man in him is eate away
140.H03.007  And nowe his beastes in one another feed
140.H03.008  Yet couple in anger and new monsters breed
140.H03.009  Nowe[Var:>>Howe<<] happie is he which hathe due place assignd'
140.H03.010  To his Beastes and disforrested his minde
140.H03.011  Empald' himselfe to keep them out and[Var:>>not<<] in
140.H03.012  Can sowe and darre truste Corne where they haue bin
140.H03.013  Can vse his horsse, Goates, wolfe and euery beast
140.H03.014  And is not asse himself to %Yhaue%Z>%Vall< the rest
140.H03.015  Else man not onely is the heard of Sinne
140.H03.016  But hee is those Diuells too, which >%Vdid< incline
140.H03.017  Them to a headlonge rage and made them worse
140.H03.018  ffor man can add weight to heau'ns heauiest Curse
140.H03.019  As Soules they say by our first touche take in
140.H03.020  The poyconeous tincture of originall Sinne
140.H03.021  Soe to the punishments which god dothe flinge
140.H03.022  Our apprehention contributes the Stinge
140.H03.023  To vs as to his Chickens he dothe Caste
140.H03.024  Hemlocke and we as men his Hemlocke taste
140.H03.025  wee doe infuse %Ytoo%Z>>to<< what too[Var:>>he<<] ment for meat
140.H03.026  Corisiuenesse, or intense cold or heate
140.H03.027  ffor god noe suche specifique poison hathe
140.H03.028  As kills we knowe, not howe his fearcest wrathe
140.H03.029  Hathe noe antipithy but may be good
140.H03.030  At leaste >>%Vfor<< fphisicke,[sic] if not for our foode
140.H03.031  Thus man that might be his pleasure is his rod
140.H03.032  And is his Deuill that might be his god
140.H03.033  Since then our buisinesse[sic] is to rectifie
140.H03.034  Nature to what it was, we are led awry
140.H03.035  By them, whoe man to vs, in little shew
140.H03.036  Greater then due, noe forme we can bestowe
140.H03.037  On him for man into himself can drawe
140.H03.038  All, all his faithe can Swallowe, or reason chawe [49]
140.H03.039  All that is fitt, and all that which dothe %YChawe%Z>fill<
140.H03.040  All the round world to man is but a pill
140.H03.041  In all it workes not, but it is in all
140.H03.042  Poysonous or purgatiue, or Cordiall
140.H03.043  ffor knowledge kindles Calentures in some
140.H03.044  And it is to others Icie Opium
