Patience Exercised under Carnall Christians Carriages.
Oh! Patience with a Witness, while Grace WaitsAnd draws out golden dayes of peace, dilates
Her Liveries, meanwhile her Children fall
Into Love Sickness to the Worldes bright all.
While God doth Tyrants, like to Divells, binde
They fall on one another (Oh! unkinde)
Box one another thus about the eares:
Do scratch out one anothers eyes, run Speares
In one anothers Names up to the head,
And strive to lay each others names as Dead,
47
The Stones were squard and pollisht too full bright
That build the fabrick of Monkesty
Where Abby Lubbers now, like swine, do sty.
