The fall of Angells
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Some say, the downe-cast Angells here and there
Alighted, as they bodied Creatures were▪
But whether some of them in Aire reside,
Others in Water, or in Earth abide,
It matters not: for (howsoere they fell)
Who loseth God, findes every place his Hell.
