Like her which nectar to the gods doth fill.
The more She lives, the more She feeds on Truth;
The more She feeds, her Strength doth more increase:
And what is Strength, but an effect of Youth!
Which if Time nurse, how can it ever cease?
Objections against the Immortality of the Soul.
But now these Epicures begin to smile,
And say, "My doctrine is more safe, than true!"
And that "I fondly do myself beguile,
While these received opinions I ensue."
