Epig. 29. A Paralell.
As Humours drawn up from the GroundAre unto many Functions bound,
167
And climes through which their journeys be,
Some Meteors, that amaze below,
Some Comets, that fore-threaten woe,
Some hailestones, that afflict the earth,
Some raine, which hastens every birth,
Lightning and Thunder made of those
Cold regions double heates inclose:
So is mankind in other fashion
Rais'd and let fall with his own passion,
Form'd, Transformed, made instruments
In many shapes, and many vents,
Feeding great men, as Vapours do,
And vading Scourge their Parents too:
Some mishap'd Meteors terrifying
True Spirits, under Tyrants lying,
Others like Windes, and made to blow
To breath themselves, and overthrow
Others, some like Dewes where they touch,
Exhalation-like, some flame too much,
Catching in heates of power and will,
Thunders, and Flames, t'amaze and kill.
