Consider Judges, though you be but dust,
Gods sons you are, yea Gods, if you be just.
Let no man sin securely, though alone;
For each man hath three Judges in a Throne
Within his brest: these Judges will torment thee
Here and in Hell, where no man shall lament thee.
Now we are men, which heretofore were Ants;
Then let us live like men, and not like Wants,
Still digging: leave your holes, and fix your eyes
Upon your starry-house, the spangled skies,
Where Christ your head, and Lord and Judge doth dwell,
The onely Judge of Heaven, Earth, and Hell.
