140.WN1.001  Man is a lump, where all Beasts kneaded bee
140.WN1.002  Wisdome makes him an Arke, where all agree.
140.WN1.003  The foole in whome these beasts doe liue at iarr,
140.WN1.004  Is sport to others, and a Theater,
140.WN1.005  Nor scapes hee soe, but is himselfe ther pray,
140.WN1.006  All which was Man in him, is eate away.
140.WN1.007  And now his Beasts on one another feede,
140.WN1.008  Yett couple in anger, and new Monsters breede.
140.WN1.009  How happie is hee, whhich[sic] hath due place assignd
140.WN1.010  To his Beasts, and disaforested his Minde?
140.WN1.011  Empayld himselfe to keepe them out, not in:
140.WN1.012  Can sowe, and dares trust corne, where they haue bin. [CW:Can.]
140.WN1.013  Can vse his Horse, Goate, Woolfe, and every beast [p.144]
140.WN1.014  And nott Asse himselfe to all the rest.
140.WN1.015  Els Man, not only is the Heard of Swine,
140.WN1.016  But hee is those Diuells too, which did incline
140.WN1.017  Them to a headlonge rage, and made them worse.
140.WN1.018  For Man can add Waight to heauens heauiest curse.
140.WN1.019  As soules (they saie) by our first touch, take in,
140.WN1.020  The Poysonus tincture of Originall Sin;
140.WN1.021  So to the punnishments which God doth fling,
140.WN1.022  Our apprehention contributes the Sting.
140.WN1.023  To Vs as to his Chickens hee doth cast
140.WN1.024  Hemlock, And wee as Men his Hemlock tast;
140.WN1.025  Wee doe infuse, to what hee meant for meate,
140.WN1.026  Corrosiuenes, or [4-em-space] cold, or heate
140.WN1.027  For God no such Specifique Poyson hath,
140.WN1.028  As kills wee know not how; his fiercest Wrath
140.WN1.029  Hath no Antipathy: but may bee good,
140.WN1.030  At least for Phisick, if not for our food.
140.WN1.031  Thus Man that might bee his pleasure, is his rod;
140.WN1.032  And is his Diuell, that might bee his God.
140.WN1.033  Since then our businesse is to rectifie
140.WN1.034  Nature, to what shee was, wee are led a [sic]wry
140.WN1.035  By them, Who man to Vs, in little show;
140.WN1.036  Greater, then due, no forme wee can bestowe
140.WN1.037  On him, for Man into him selfe can drawe
140.WN1.038  All; all his faith can swallowe'[sic] or Reason chawe
140.WN1.039  All that is filld, and all that which doth fill:
140.WN1.040  All the round World to man is but A Pill;
140.WN1.041  In all itt workes not, but it is in all; [CW:om]
140.WN1.042  Poysonus, or Purgatiue, or Cordiall. [p.145]
140.WN1.043  For knowledg kyndles Calentures in some
140.WN1.044  And is to others [rest_of_l._om]
140.WN1.045  As braue as true is that profession than
140.WN1.046  Which yow doe vse to make. That yow know Man.
140.WN1.047  This makes it credible, yow haue dwelt vppon
140.WN1.048  All worthy Bookes, And now are such a one,
140.WN1.049  Actions, are Authors; And of those in you
140.WN1.050  Your friends finde everie day A Mart of new.
