The soules twylight
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
As Sea and Earth I view, but with mine eye,
Nor Elementall fire nor aire discry:
So know I men and beasts, but cannot so
High God, and holy Angels reach unto:
For (ah) by Adams fall my knowing part
Seemes dasht and duld'd against a stony heart
