Book II, 52: On three Fooles

The Wise man sayes, It is a Wise mans part,
To keepe his tongue close pris'ner in his heart;
If he be then a Foole, whose thought denies,
There is a God, how desp'rately unwise,
How more then Foole is he, whose language shall
Proclaime in publike, There's no God at all!
What then are they, nay Fooles, in what degree,
Whose Actions shall maintain't? Such fooles are we.
