[The World's a Drumm, with loud Alarum stirring]
The World's a Drumm, with loud Alarum stirringThe World to War; and too-too-cruel spurring
Son against Sire. The Means if you would finde,
'Tis by a Mean that is but made of Winde.
But tell mee World, How coms a simple Sound
Sext but from Skins, vpon a Skin but beating,
T'incite thee so, so to be stir thee round
To face thy Force, thy Faces Force so threating?
