Epigram 23: He whose fierce Wrath with bloody rage

He whose fierce Wrath with bloody rage doth swell,
That takes delight in slaughtring Gods elect:
He that is sworne the Champion of Hell,
That Wrath and Murder onely doth effect:
He whose combustious all deuowring ire,
Depopulates and layes whole Empires waste,
Whose Wrath like a consuming quenchles fire,
Hath blessed peace from Christendome displac'te,
If I should need one, in wrath and murther,
His Holynes commaunds me seeke no further.
