burnes in furious fire.

A Harder lesson, to learne Continence i

In ioyous pleasure, then in grieuous paine:

For sweetnesse doth allure the weaker sence

So strongly, that vneathes it can refraine

From that, which feeble nature couets faine;

But griefe and wrath, that be her enemies,

And foes of life, she better can restraine[613];

Yet vertue vauntes in both their[614] victories,

And Guyon in them all shewes goodly maisteries.
