Of Man.
Man is a contradiction, so I hold,
Made of best and basest mould:
In him, as in a Glass we see
All things that were or ever shall be.
If thou to any man adheare,
Let not his interest be in cheare,
For if his Mistress stand him by,
Make thou no doubt the man will lie.
Now sith' tis so, thou careful be
Selfe gets not upper hand of thee,
Thrice happ man if thou sublime
Thy carnal selfe to selfe divine.
This thing may soon with ease be done,
God will assist thee with his Sonne,
And reason he will shew thee how
Thy God, thy Christ, thy selfe to know.
