Religion
Book IV, 83: To MVNDANO
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Nere thinke, Mundaeno, that one Roome will hold
Thy God, and all thy gold;
If ere they chance to meete within a heart,
They'l either fight, or part;
So long as Earth seemes glorious in thine eyes,
Thy thoughts can never rise;
Beleeve't Mundano, by how much more neare
Thou getst to Heav'n, the lesse will earth appeare.
