140.SP1.HE1 %XTo S%5r%6 Edward Herbert at Julyers
140.SP1.001 Man is a lumpe, where all beasts kneaded be
140.SP1.002 Wisdome makes him an Arke, where all agree
140.SP1.003 The foole in whom theis beasts, do live a jarr[sic]
140.SP1.004 Is sport to others, and a Theater,
140.SP1.005 Nor scapes he so, but is himself their prey
140.SP1.006 All w%5ch%6 was man in him, is eat away.|
140.SP1.007 And now his beasts on one another feed
140.SP1.008 Yett couple in anger & new monsters breed.
140.SP1.009 How happy is he w%5ch%6 hath due place assigned
140.SP1.010 To his beasts, and disaforisted his mind.
140.SP1.011 Empald himself, to keepe them out, not in,
140.SP1.012 Can sowe, & dares trust corne, where they haue bin.
140.SP1.013 Can vse his horse, Goate, Woolf, and every beast
140.SP1.014 And is not Ass himself to all the rest.
140.SP1.015 Elce, man not only is the heard of swine
140.SP1.016 But he is those divells too, w%5ch%6 did incline [CW:Them,]
140.SP1.017 Them to a headlonge rage, and made them worse [f.48]
140.SP1.018 ffor man can add waite to Heavens heviest curse
140.SP1.019 As soules (they say) by our first touch take in
140.SP1.020 The poysonous tincture of originall sin.
140.SP1.021 So to the punishments w%5ch%6 God doth flinge
140.SP1.022 Our apprehension contributes the stinge.
140.SP1.023 To vs, as to his Chickins, he doth cast
140.SP1.024 Hemlock, and wee, as men, his hemlock tast.
140.SP1.025 We doe infuse, to what he meant for meat
140.SP1.026 Corrosivenes, or intense cold, or heate.
140.SP1.027 For god no such Specifique poison hath
140.SP1.028 As kills, we know not how, his fiercest wrath.
140.SP1.029 Hath noe Antipathye; But may be good
140.SP1.030 At least for phisick, if not for food.
140.SP1.031 Thus man, y%5t%6 might be his pleasure, is his rod,
140.SP1.032 And >%Vis< his divell, that might be his God.
140.SP1.033 Since then our buissines is to rectify,
140.SP1.034 Nature, to what she was, we are led awrie
140.SP1.035 By them, who man to vs, in little, showe,
140.SP1.036 Greater then due, noe forme we can bestow
140.SP1.037 On him: for man into himself can draw
140.SP1.038 All; All his faith can Swallow, or reason chawe [CW:All]
140.SP1.039 All y%5t%6 is filld, and all y%5t%6 w%5ch%6 doth fill [f.48v]
140.SP1.040 All the round world, to man is but a Pill.
140.SP1.041 In all it works not, but it is in all
140.SP1.042 Poysonous, or purgative, or cordiall.
140.SP1.043 For knowledge kindles Calentures in some
140.SP1.044 And is to others Icy Opium.
140.SP1.045 As braue, as true, is that profession then
140.SP1.046 W%5ch%6 yo:%5u%6 doe vse to make; that yo;%5u%6 know man;
140.SP1.047 This makes it credible; yo:%5u%6 haue dwelt vpon
140.SP1.048 All worthie books, and now are such a one;
140.SP1.049 Actions are authers; And of those in yo:%5u%6
140.SP1.050 Yo:%5r%6 freinds finde every day a mart of new.|
