Celestiall comfort
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
The fire that in few minutes should have turn'd
Three Children into ashes, onely burn'd
Their bonds asunder: but when once that flame
That shall dissolve the Worlds unwildy frame,
Sinnes chaines shall loosen, and dull flesh refine,
We shall as Eagles soare, as Angels shine.
