Their hands, their mouths the cup;

They drunk, and found they flam’d the more,

And onely added to the burning store.

So have I seen on Lime cold water thrown,

Strait all was to a Ferment grown,

And hidden seeds of fire together run:

The heap was calm, and temperate before,

Such as the Finger could indure;

But when the moistures it provoke,

Did rage, did swell, did smoke,
