Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
98. The Covetous, to sublime contemplators.
As to his eye who yellow glasse applies,Sees all things of that golden colour: so
When thoughts of profit taint our phantasies,
We onely are well seene in things below;
But in Celestiall matters blind as Moles,
That hunt for Wormes, and haunt obscurest holes.
