[A Tree, a beast, an angell, all in one]

A Tree , a beast, an angell, all in one
Liues, and hath rule ouer both beast and tree,
That oft, is after goatishnesse so gone,
That there is no beast, beastlier than hee.

Bridle the beast, monster, mishapen thing,
Least tree, beast, angell, to the deuill fling.

Those women and men are happie, whose rationall and intellectuall part, hath her iust and full dominion, ouer the materiall and sensuall.
