78. Upon Alexander.

To Philip's Son, a world, gave not content:
Though he Rul'd North, South, West, the Orient.
Though we the world, vastly dilated finde;
It was too narrow, to contain his Minde.
52

To Philip's Son, the world prov'd much too vast;
For his long Arms to clasp it in the wast.
Though he was Great, by Actions; Great, by Birth:
Yet this Great Man, was Lesser then the Earth.
