Eleg. 12.
Mountaines shall move, the Sun his circling course
Shall stop; Tridented Neptune shall divorce
Th'embracing floods from their beloved Iles,
Ere heaven forgets his servant, and recoyles
From his eternall vow: Those, those that bruise
His broken reeds, or secretly abuse
The doubtfull Title of a rightfull Cause,
Or with false bribes adulterat the Lawes,
That should be chaste, these, these, th'Almightie hath
Branded for subjects of a future wrath;
Oh, may the just man know, th'Eternall hastens
His plagues for trialls; loves the child he chastens.
