plungde in this impetuous tyde must feele the force of fire Where damned soules on every syde Howling and roaring still abyde Which finde no shelter them to hyde from this eternall ire 25 There the Ambitious who in skies Did late on wax-joynde winges arise Of base contempt is made the pryse the Proudling pestred downe There Dives who did earst despise Of famisht soules the piercing cries Shall one cold drop of water pryse aboue a Monarches crowne 26 Loe there the vile licentious Goate Whom lawlesse lust did ●arst besotte Enchainde in the embracements hotte of furious raging flames There to the drunkards parched throate Justice doth scrotching drought allote In floods of fire which judgde to floate still vaine refreshment claimes 27 On Covetous on cruell wight Shall equall weight of vengeance light With byting vsurie with spight the poore ones who did presse So to the remnant that did fight 'gainst heauens decrees their conscience light Gods wrath shall bee proportionde right by measure more or lesse 28 Soule which vnpittied ever playnes Heere
