Patience Exercised by Tyrants
No wonder if the flock do run astrayThe Shephard set his Dog at them to baigh.
Yet if he bites or Worries any, he
Is exercisd thereat, and so we see
These Curs let loose such dreadfull houghvack make
That Patience much thus exercisd, out brake
Her sparkling shine While Diaclesian
Doth Tyrannize with Maximinian.
