Book II, 28: On Mans unequall division
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book II
Religion
Lord, 'tis a common course; w'are apt and free
To take the Best, and share the worst to Thee:
We Fleet the Mornings for our owne Designe;
Perchance, the Flotten Afternoones are thine:
Thou giv'st us Silke; we offer Cammills hayre.
Thy Blessings march ith' Front; our thanks, ith'Reare
