Epig. 24. Acrisius Inclosing his Daughter Danae .
Foole! dost thou think thy Destinie to dare,By hiding from thy Jealous eyes thy feare:
“Women are never wiser in their drifts,
“Then when by fortune forc'd unto their shifts.
‘Had not Jove came to Danae in a shower,
‘Her hot Lust had dissolv'd her brazen Tower.
