An Epigram on the same.
WHat? Man turn'd Beast? is Reason grown a yoke?
Tiresome? that thou it sell'st for drink and smoke?
Are Health, and Knowledge, contemptible both?
That thou preferr'st to them Excesse and Sloth?
Is grace thy scorn? thy body and thy soul
Neither worth saving? Then continue foul.
And so foul beast farewel. Soft, here's another:
Both have one Father, but not both one Mother:
Satan gets one of Flesh, t'other of Spirit;
The last's his darling (though both shall inherit
His dismal Kingdom) he doth her affect,
As his choice sieve to sift the Lords Elect:
She best resembles him, though both are evil;
The first's a Beast, the last's a perfect Devil.
