Social Commentaries
Gods feare, with true fortitude
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Gods feare made Moses bold to goe
To that sterne Tyrant Pharaoh,
Not trembling at his harsh replyes:
For when the Lord of earth and skyes
Is lodg'd once in a faithfull brest,
What earth-quake dare his roome molest?
