Book IV, 22: On Rome
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Good Workes abound in Rome: 'Tis well they doe,
'Tis the best string they chalenge to their Bow:
But ev'ry Hee's no Monck, that weares a Hood,
'Tis well, if they'r well done, as well as good:
When wandring Passengers have lost their way,
No sort of men that ride so fast as they.
