5. On Peters Cocke.

The Cocke crow'd once, And Peters careles eare
Could heare it, but his eye not spend a teare:
The Cocke crow'd twice, Peter began to creepe
To th'Fyer side, but Peter could not weepe:
The Cock crow'd thrice: Our Saviour turnd about,
And look'd on Peter; Now his teares burst out:
'Twas not the Cock; It was our Saviours Eye:
Till he shall give us teares, we cannot crye.
