ADMETUS.


7

Let not Man think on Hymen, till he finde
What is Apollo's and Alcides minde.
And you weak Maids, and Widows too, before
You marry, shun the Lyon and the Boare.
Think not to carry Hope and Confidence,
Till you subdue pride and concupiscence:
By Hope lay hold on Christ, he will sustain
Your souls in death, and them restore again.
