Book IV, 47: On Gods Arme

Twas not, that he was weake; or thou so strong;
He dy'd so soone, or that thou liv'st so long:
The head-strong Oxe is haled to the slaughter,
When the poore worm crawls many a Summer after:
When Heav'ns victorious arme shal please to strike,
The Gyant and the Pigmey are alike.
