Each wounded prey His weapon is ten more to slay 'T is not alone at Sea where our brave Fleet Does with the Dutch-men meet That flaming Fire-ships to the Combat flie And burnt themselves consume the Enemy Here too at Land whoere expires Doth kindle others with his Funeral-fires New Civil wars again In England raign Strange Civil wars where still The Victors die and Vanquisht kill Now at noon-day none dares to walk that Town Whose midnight-safety gains her such renown A murderer men fear to meet In the most large frequented street In vain each house shut up a Jayl is made In which the numerous Homicides are laid For there pent up their killing breath Brings to each other surer death These prisons too to some The cause of further crimes become The father hastning to the grave Bereaves his children of that life he gave His deathbed-blessings curses are With which he kills his Heir Thus doth this more-than-Tyrant heat To make their miseries compleat With simple Tortures not content Adde guilt and make each pain a punishment Those who first innocently sick did lie As Criminals do justly die Yet ev'n the Cities unassisted heat To th' uninfected seems so great That they though pain'd with torments and with faults Envie the very dead their cool and shady vaults XXI All these dire pains with which the Summers spight Plagues others heighten our delight Whilst round about us everywhere They to our fancies or our eyes appear Our singular cool pleasures they endear But ah how short a date Is on great joys bestow'd by Fate Already does the dismal Bell Seem to ring our common Knell For 't is to death it bids us come Whilst that it calls us home Nay ours is worse ev'n than those sinners death Who midst their crimes resigne their breath They onely from small pains to greater sell But we from heaven pass to hell Such we account that air which yet Burns though the flaming Sun be set All enter 't with unwilling feet Each takes his Shirt as 't were his Winding-sheet Home with delaying haste we go Our cloathes half on loosly about us flow Yet though prepared so for bed On restless Pillows none dare lay his head All are sick-beds not Down it self can please The heat makes ev'n its softness a disease In vain we call on Sleep His Lethe which so silent by did creep Onely because it was so deep Is to the bottom dry nor can it keep One precious drop wherein our eyes to steep This makes us though we grudged not their gold For which rest onely is not sold To envie the Ormusians wit Who have by it Learnt from the Sun their mortal enemy This useful policie In water every night to lie Ah that I so might sleep not on Parnassus but in Helicon This onely my Pindaericks do desire Not for to save my house but my own self from fire Pindar's bright Poetick flame Surviv'd his ashes blown by Fame And ev'n his Thebes orecomers overcame It made them spare his house alone When all the Citie flam'd that onely brighter shone But I alas who breathless strive in vain To reach his noble strain When from this heat my safety I desire Too much from feeble Lines require Which justly fear themselves to perish in the fire CORBET OWEN FINIS Books printed for William Crook Printed in the year 1670.
