140.Y04.0HE  To Sir Edward Herbert, since /Lord Herbert of Cherbury, being /at the seige of Iulyers
140.Y04.001  Man is a lump, where all beasts kneaded be,
140.Y04.002  Wisdom makes him an Ark where all agree;
140.Y04.003  The fool, in whom these beasts do live at jar,
140.Y04.004  Is sport to others, and a Theater;
140.Y04.005  Nor scapes he so, but is himself their prey,
140.Y04.006  All which was Man in him, is eat away;
140.Y04.007  And now his beasts on one another feed,
140.Y04.008  Yet couple in Anger, & new Monsters breed;
140.Y04.009  How happy's he, which hath due place assign%5d%6;
140.Y04.010  To his beasts; & disaforested his mind;
140.Y04.011  Empal'd himself to keep them out, not in,
140.Y04.012  Can sow, & dares trust Corn, where they haue been;
140.Y04.013  Can use his Horse, Goat, Wolf, & ev'ry beast,
140.Y04.014  And is not Ass himself to all the rest?
140.Y04.015  Else man not only is the herd of swine,
140.Y04.016  But he's those devils too, which do incline
140.Y04.017  Them to an headlong rage, & made them worse;
140.Y04.018  For Man can add weight to heav'ns heaviest \curse.
140.Y04.019  As Souls (they say) by our first touch take in
140.Y04.020  Tho' poysonous tincture of Original Sin;
140.Y04.021  So to the punishments, which God doth fling,
140.Y04.022  Our apprehension contributes the sting.
140.Y04.023  To us, has to his chickens, he doth cast,
140.Y04.024  Hemlock; & we, as men, his hemlock taste,
140.Y04.025  We do infuse to what he meant for meat	[end p. 199]
140.Y04.026  Corrosiness[sic], or intense cold or heat. [p.200]
140.Y04.027  For God no such specifique Poyson hath
140.Y04.028  As kills, men know not how,'his fiercest Wrath
140.Y04.029  Hath no Antipathy, but may be good
140.Y04.030  At least for Physick, if not for our food.
140.Y04.031  Thus man, that might be'his pleasure, is his rod;
140.Y04.032  And is his devil, that might be his God.
140.Y04.033  Since then our business is to rectifie
140.Y04.034  Nature, to what she was; we're led awry
140.Y04.035  By them, who man to us in little show;
140.Y04.036  Greater than due, no form we can bestow
140.Y04.037  On him; for man into himself can draw
140.Y04.038  All; All his faith can swallow; or reason chaw;
140.Y04.039  All that is fill'd, & all that which doth fill,
140.Y04.040  All the round world, to man is but a Pill,
140.Y04.041  In all it works not, but it is in all
140.Y04.042  Poysonous, or Purgative, or Cordial.
140.Y04.043  For knowledge kindles Calentures in some,
140.Y04.044  And is to others icy Opium.
140.Y04.045  As brave as true is that profession then,
140.Y04.046  Which you do use to make; that you know \man.
140.Y04.047  This makes it credible, you've dwelt upon
140.Y04.048  All worthy books; & now are such an one.
140.Y04.049  Actions are Authors, & of these in you
140.Y04.050  Your friends find ev'ry Day a Mart of new.
