Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
79. Comfort in selfe conquest.
On troubled waters could not Noahs DoveTake rest, but in the Arke, that did containe
A wildernesse of Creatures leagu'd in love;
Nor will that Dove-like comforter remaine,
Save that in brest, whose wild affections be
Bound to tame peace, yet strike sweet harmony.
