[Why? why build Worlds their Hopes Assurance]
Why? why build Worlds their Hopes AssuranceOn this vain Worlds vnduring Durance?
Sith all the Sweet of worldly Pleasures,
Worldly Honours, worldly Threasures,
Is Nothing but a Blast, a Breath,
An addle Hope, an idle Dreaming,
A sudden Storm with fury streaming,
And drowning all in Gulf of Death.
