Voluptuous. v. Glutton.

Master of unexampled luxury. Sardanapalus drown'd in soft excesse. That follow passion and voluptuous sence▪ That revel out their lavish dayes. Like one of wise Ulysses foolish mates, Sons of earth, enthrall'd to sence. Dark, narrow souls which drown'd in foggy flesh, Do never dream of higher happinesse. Plung'd in soft delights. Stues his heart in mirth, Crushing the child of sorrow in the birth. Whose flat delights on earth do creep and grow. A soul lost in the flesh. Lethargick slumbering soules. Lanke soules that in no other thing delight, But what may please the Brutish appetite. Melting away in pleasures wanton lap. Licentious Libertines, That practise in the present those delights, Hereafter promised by the Alcoran. Hard hearted evil men, Who vertue think a school name, and no God But abject pleasure. Oyling the wings of time with unctious pleasures. Melting down their youth In different beds of lust, and never learn

The icie precepts of respect, but follow The sugred game before them. That treads the primrose path of dalliance. Their bathes the juyce of July-flowers. Spirit of roses and of violets. The milk of Unicorne, and Panthers breath Gathered in bags, and mixt with Cretan wines, Their drink prepared gold and amber. Wedded to sports they were, The Kallender for to divide his year, Making with time, his gamesome pastimes try Whether could show gretter variety. That revel out the nights In dalliance, and the day in loose delights.
