80. On Fox .
There was a time, (wo-worth that heavy time)When rav'nous Foxes did devoure the prime,
And choyce of all our Lambs: But Heav'n did raise
A more ingenuous Fox, in after dayes,
Whose high immortall Pen redeem'd their breath,
And made those Lambs revive, in spight of death:
To see, how mutuall Saintly Favours be!
Thou gav'st them life, that now give life to thee.
