Comfort in selfe conquest
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
On troubled waters could not Noahs Dove
Take rest, but in the Arke, that did containe
A wildernesse of Creatures leagu'd in love;
Nor will that Dove-like comforter remaine,
Save that in brest, whose wild affections be
Bound to tame peace, yet strike sweet harmony.
