Epigrams: Divine and Moral | ||
10. The best wits, once depraved, become the most impious.
The whitest Lawne receives the deepest moale:The purest Chrysolit is soonest stained:
So without grace, the most ingenious soule,
Is with the greatest wickednesse profaned:
And the more edge it have, apply'd to sin,
Where it should spare, it cuts the deeper in.
