Violence cannot destroy her.
"Yet violence perhaps the Soul destroys,
As lightning or the sunbeams dim the sight;
Or as a thunder-clap or cannon's noise,
The power of hearing doth astonish quite?"
But high perfection to the Soul it brings,
T'encounter things most excellent and high;
For when She views the best and greatest things,
They do not hurt, but rather clear the eye.
Besides as Homer's gods 'gainst armies stand;
