Dives.
MOst wofull I, who now in wofull ruine,
In hell still muse of greater woes eusuing;
One woe doth another woe foreshew,
Woe, endlesse woe, my foresight is too true.
My woes againe are yet as to begin,
Wretch, I have yet to answer for my sin,
Where my indictment must be found indeed,
Before a Judge too, who will not be feed.
A Judge whose mercy I would not imbrace:
Where mercy moves not, justice must take place:
A Judge who once cry'd gently come away;
But thou shalt to me, goe you cursed say.
How will those Angells and those Saints abhor me
Which I abus'd, once seeking to doe for me?
How will those divells which I once obey'd,
Then cry my wages shall be duly paid?
