140.O20.0HE  %XTo S%5r%6 Edward Herbert. at Iulyers.
140.O20.001  Man is a lumpe, where all Beasts kneaded bee
140.O20.002  Wisedome makes him an Arke, where all agree. [CW:om]
140.O20.003  The Foole in whom these Beasts doe live a iarre [35v]
140.O20.004  Is Sport to others, and a Theater.
140.O20.005  No scapes he soe, but is himselfe theyre Praye.
140.O20.006  All w%5ch%6 was Man in him, ys eate awaye;
140.O20.007  And now hys Beasts on >A%>O<ne Another feed
140.O20.008  Yett couple in Anger, and new monsters breed.
140.O20.009  How happy is hee, w%5ch%6 hath due place assignd
140.O20.010  To hys Beasts, and disaforested hys Mind?
140.O20.011  Empayld himselfe, to keepe them out, not In,
140.O20.012  Can sowe, and dares trust Corne, where they haue bin.
140.O20.013  Can Vse hys horse, Goate, Wolfe, and euery Beast.
140.O20.014  And is not Asse himselfe to all the rest.
140.O20.015  Else, Man not only is the Heard of Swine,
140.O20.016  But he ys those Devills too, w%5ch%6 did inclyne
140.O20.017  Them to a headlong rage, and made them worse.
140.O20.018  For Man can adde wayte to Heauens heavyest Curse.
140.O20.019  As Soules (they say) by our first touch take in
140.O20.020  The Poysonous tincture of Originall Sinne.
140.O20.021  So to the Punnishments w%5ch%6 God doth flinge,
140.O20.022  Our Apprehension contributes the stinge.
140.O20.023  To Vs, as to hys Chickens, he doth Cast
140.O20.024  Hemlocke, and wee, as men, hys Hemlocke tast.
140.O20.025  Wee doe infuse, to what he ment for meate
140.O20.026  Corrosiuenes, or intense Cold, or heate.
140.O20.027  For God no such Specifique Poyson hath
140.O20.028  As kills, wee know not howe; Hys fiercest wrath [CW:om]
140.O20.029  Hath no Antipathye; But may be Good, [36]
140.O20.030  At least for Physicke, if not for food.
140.O20.031  Thus Man, that might be hys Pleasure, is hys Rod;
140.O20.032  And is hys Deuill, that might bee hys God.
140.O20.033  Since then our Busines ys to rectifye,
140.O20.034  Nature, to what She was, wee'are led awrye
140.O20.035  By them, who Man to Vs, in litle, showe;
140.O20.036  Greater then due, no forme wee ca%M bestowe
140.O20.037  On him: for Man into himselfe can drawe
140.O20.038  All; All hys Fayth can swallowe, or Reason chawe.
140.O20.039  All that ys fill'd, and all that w%5ch%6 doth fill
140.O20.040  All the round world, to Man ys but a Pill.
140.O20.041  In all it workes not, but yt is in All
140.O20.042  Poysonous, or Purgatiue, or Cordyall.
140.O20.043  For knowledge kindles Calentures in some,
140.O20.044  And ys to Others Icy Opium.
140.O20.045  As braue, as true, ys that Profession than
140.O20.046  W%5ch%6 you doe vse to make; That you know ma%M.
140.O20.047  Thys makes yt Credible; You'haue dwelt vpone
140.O20.048  All worthy bookes, and now are such a One.
140.O20.049  Actions are Authors; And of those in you,
140.O20.050  Your frindes find euery day a Mart of Newe.|
