48. On Worldlings.
Like Gideons troopes, which off the Captaine castFor bending Beast-like to the ground, to tast
The Crystall River, is the wretched crew
Of Worldlings, which with downe-cast mindes pursue
Their wretched treasure, that like water slowes
By course, and from them with a murmure goes.
