3. On a Printing-house.

The world's a Printing-house: our words, our thoughts
Our deeds, are Characters of sev'rall sizes:
Each Soule is a Compos'ter; of whose faults
The Levits are Correctors: Heav'n revises;
Death is the common Press; frō whence, being driven,
W'are gatherd Sheet by Sheet, & bound for Heaven.
