The pitifull Father.

SAd Father! thus inforced to bewray A sons rebellion, running thus astray: Can you suppose I without griefe can see, Or tell these sorrows? no it cannot be. He now may thinke he being now remote, He now unseen may set his shell on float, Let loose affection, and unlimit will; But I with sorrow do behold him still. I see the bondage of his better part, By giving power unto his wanton heart: I see the thraldomes of his heart beside By making of his stubborne will its guide. I see how vain the worthlesse pleasures be For which he gives away his heart from me, I see how those his pleasures doe deprave him In those indowments I his Father gave him.
