Religion
Book IV, 76: To GOD
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
If thou shouldst strike a blow for every slipp
That mortalls make, or spurre for every tripp,
Within a moments space, here would be found
No place left free t'inflict an other wound:
Hackneys and spur-gall'd Iades would happier be,
And in condition, better farre, then Wee.
