Religion

Book IV, 75: On LVCRO

by Francis Quarles 1592–1644

From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV

Religion

Lvcro, it is beleev'd, thy Conscience, either
Is very wide, or made of stretching leather:
Me thinkes thy Conscience rather seemes too small;
So farre from large, I feare th'ast none at all.
