 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 64. Of Anchurus his kindenesse to his country.
Anchurus in t'a Gulph himselfe did cast,To saue his friends and Country-men from spoile;
Kinde-heart he burnes, and still away doth waste,
Whose Bowels with most bitter torment broile.
That others by his plague (such was his care)
Might of that euer-burning Pit beware.
