Religion
Epigram 22: He like a God that gouernes in
From The Sculler (1612)
Religion
He like a God that gouernes in the world,
That each mans honor but his owne:
He that sedition through the earth hath hurld,
Whose Enuie hath great Kingdomes ouer throwne.
He that vngraues his foe thats once intombd,
For Enuy that he wrongd him whilst he liu'd,
And after death is doombd,
To be of liueles senceles depriu'd.
If this be true none will deny I hope,
That Enuy is ingrafted in the Pope.
