Vesta ’s not displeas’d if her chaste Urn

Doe with repaired fuell ever burn;

But my Saint frowns, though to her honoured name

I consecrate a never dying flame:

Th’ Assyrian King did none i th’ furnace throw,

But those that to his Image did not bow:

With bended knees I dayly worship her,

Yet she consumes her own Idolater.

Of such a Goddesse no times leave record,

That burnt the Temple where she was ador’d.
