Which being rais'd-aloft, downe-tumbleth, still,

To keepe imployed his afflicted Soule.

On him, this tedious Labour is impos'd;

And (though in vaine) it must be still assayd:

But, some, by no Necessity inclos'd,

Vpon themselves, such needlesse Taskes have layd.

Yea, knowing not (or caring not to know)

That they are worne and weary'd out in vaine,

They madly toyle to plunge themselves in Woe;

And, seeke uncertaine Ease, in certaine Paine.
