An Epigram on despair.

DEspair avaunt; eternal death attends Thy very touch; Hell's at thy fingers ends. The Cockatrices optick poyson's weak, Asps tactick venome slight, to thine: thoul't break Hearts all in shivers by a single thought: Yea, murther souls too: though most dearly bought By God-man's blood; thou mak'st men spill the price, And slight their mercies, by thy rash advice.
