Book I, 19: On the Crowing of a Cocke
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
The Crowing of a Cocke doth oft foreshow
A change of Weather: Peter found it so:
The Cocke no sooner crew, but by and by
He found a Change of weather in his eye:
T's an easie thing to say, ad to sweare too,
Wee'l dye for Christ; but tis as hard to doe.
