Divine Wisedome
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Moses his reall Serpent had the power,
Those other made by Magicke to devoure;
And Gods transcendent wisedome doth containe,
All others knowledge, as a boundlesse maine;
Which never Creature strove to passe, but fell
Short in his Voyage, lost in darkest Hell.
