Every Man in his Own Way

An Epistle to a Friend. By Stephen Duck

collapse section
 

To shun the fatal Rock on which he splits,
Diagoras employs his subtle Wits;
Denies the Being of a God by Rule,
And proves by Logic—that he is a Fool.
Is there no Mean, no Passage we can find
Safely to steer this Vessel of the Mind?
Must we on Scylla or Charybdis run?
When Dead, be wretched; or alive, undone?
