Has strong Affliction prest ye to the Ground?
And left ye Speechlesse, as y'had lately swoun'd?
Can dire Resolves help? Or Stabs cure a Wound?
Have ye lost All Things? And 'bove Those your Fame?
Life was before. Let it out-live A Name.
Impatient Fingers of Mindes overhot,
Open not Skains, but run them All a knot.
Unrulie Pris'ners, fetter'd, strive in vain;
And more do hurt themselves, the more they strain.
