10. On Absurdity.

To make a Garment for the Moon,
To drein the Ocean with a Spoon,
To build up Castles in the Ayr;
Before soul Swine to cast Pearls fair,
To paint the Dolphin in the Woods;
Or Savage Boare in liquid Floods;
To light a Candle at noon day;
To seek for Water in the Sea:
To set the Fox to keep the Geese;
To wrest the Club from Hercules.
To put the Cart before the Horse,
To seek a Blessing in a Curse,
Is held absurd, to think to win,
A glorious Crown, yet live in Sin;
Prepost'rous is, none can Heav'n gain,
Without the price of labours pain.
