Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
192. Of zealous alacrity.
That God, that did the Israelites commandTo eate with eager hast the Paschall Lambe,
Now wills, when pious workes we take in hand,
That we with nimble zeale performe the same:
For he that Heaven incessantly doth move,
Admits no sluggish soules to rest above.
