Of Heau'nly doome on me, when these with mad offence,
Gods anger still prouoke? Ha traitor, and rebell soule,
Ha Lamech, was 't a fault so light thy bed to foule:
To third the paire-of-man: that yet more hellish wood,
Needs must thou dip thy blade in double-gransiers blood?
Nor could the Rogues pasport embrant betwixt his browes,
Nor his charge stay thine hand who power infernall bowes?
Gods anger still prouoke? Ha traitor, and rebell soule,

Nor could the Rogues pasport embrant betwixt his browes,
