Book I, 22: On Morus
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
He is no Flemming: For he cannot Swill:
No Roman; for his stomacke's fleshly still:
He cannot be a Iew; he was baptiz'd:
Nor yet a Gentile; he was circumciz'd:
He is no True man; for he lyes a trot:
Prophane he is not; for he sweares ye not:
What is he then? One Feast without a Bill
Shall make him all; or which of all ye will.
