Of limbs diseased, and joints that creak and sulk

For the foul lusts they stir, the scares, affrights,

The cowardly griefs, and as vain delights,

The Dark through which flesh stumbles, halt and blind

The dungeon where it keeps shut close the Mind,

Lest at one breath of air it should in scorn

Of earth fly back to Heaven where ’twas born.

Meanwhile an evil partnership for both!—

Spirit incorporate, however loth

To be associate with sores and blains,
