81. On the insatiablenesse of Mans heart.

This Globe of earth ha's not the pow'r to fill
The Heart of Man, but it desiers still:
By him that seekes, the Cause is easly found;
The Heart's Triangular; The Earth is Round;
He may be full; but, never to the brim
Be fill'd with Earth, till earth be fill'd with him.
