Epig. 209. A Simily betweene youth, and Tobacco-pipes.
Like new Tobacco-pipes youth must be, needs:For if, with what is good, they well bee fill'd;
Then, That is good comes from their hearts, and heads;
If badd, then badd they cannot choose but yeeld:
Then when they smell of smoke of fowle desires;
They must be clensed in Afflictions fires.
