To such a Man, what ever doth betide;

From him, his Treasures, nothing can divide.

If of his outward-meanes, Theeves make a prise;

Hee, more occasion hath to exercise

His inward-Riches: and, they prove a Wealth,

More usefull, and lesse lyable to stealth.

If, any at his harmelesse person strike;

Himselfe hee streight contracteth, Torteis-like,

To make the Shell of Suffrance, his defence;

And, counts it Life, to die with Innocence.
