ACHELOUS.
Who 'gainst the world, and sin, and Satan fights,Had need of Bullocks strength, and Serpents slights.
If God pulls off thy horn, knocks down thy pride;
Go to repentance river, there abide,
Till sin be choak'd in tears, and do not scorn
To offer him thy Amalthæan horn
To feed the poor; but if thy strength thou spend
On drink, and whores, a flood shall be thy end.
