¶ The Storm.
••F as the windes and waters here belowDo flie and flow,••y sighs and tears as busie were above;Sure they would moveAnd much affect thee, as tempestuous timesAmaze poore mortals, and object their crimes.
••••arres have their storms, ev'n in a high degree,As well as we.•• throbbing conscience spurred by remorseHath a strange force:••t quits the earth, and mounting more and more▪Dares to assault thee, and besiege thy doore.
There it stands knocking, to thy musicks wrong,And drowns the song.Glorie and honour are set by till itAn answer get.Poets have wrong'd poore storms: such dayes are best;They purge the aire without, within the breast.
