[What's the Wisdom of Mankinde?]
What's the Wisdom of Mankinde?What the Works of hand or minde?
What the Vertues of the Rarest?
What is all our Best and Fairest,
Void of Cstrist? Alas! a Grave,
Dungeon, Den or dreadfull Cave,
Lin'd with Winde, with Shades, with Vapors,
Set on fire with deadly Tapers.
