were given To torture bodies man has reason too To adde unto the heap of his distractions I can see nothing without sense and motion But I do wish my selfe transform'd into it Col. Sir I commend this temperance your arm'd soul Is able to contemne these petty baits These flight temptations which we tittle pleasures That are indeed but names Heaven it selfe knows No such like thing the stars nor eat nor drink Nor lye with one another and you imitate Those glorious bodies by which noble abstinence You gain the names of moderate chaste and sober While this effeminate gets the infamous tearms Of Glutton Drunkard and Adulterer Pleasures that are not mans as man is man But as his nature sympathies with beasts You shall be the third Cato This grave look And rigid eye-brow will become a Censor But I will fit you with an object Sir My noble Anaisthetus that will please you It is a Looking-glasse wherein at once You may see all the dismall groves and caves The horrid vaults dark cells and barren deserts With what in hell it selfe can dismall be Anais That is indeed a prospect fit for me Exit Acol.
