If you confess humanity, believe
There is a God, to punish or reward
Our doings here.
Thomas Southern.
Ye princes all, and rulers every one,
In punishment beware of hatred’s ire.
Before you scourge, take heed; look well thereon:
In wrath’s ill will, if malice kindle fire,
Your hearts will burn in such a hot desire,
That, in those flames, the smoke shall dim your sight,
