Book IV, 114: On GRACCHVS
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Gracchus so often did repeat a Lye,
Past on, with Credit, from his very youth,
That now his Conscience has forborne to crye
Against it, and perswades him 'tis a Truth:
Tis well for Gracchus; He has gaind thereby;
He now may tell the same, and never lye.
