Inter Acus & Aculeos pugna.
Man like a little world, opens a packOf Government, to all such Climes as lack;
Wherein those humors that disturb the health,
For Power, doe represent a Common-wealth;
And Nature (uncontrowlably) would try,
To subject all under her Monarchy;
But in that Conflict findes no small disease,
Whilst all restrain'd Authorities displease.
Here may we see as from a Chaos spun,
Discord, at push of pike; and Factions t'run
A tilt: so break int' shivers and destroy
The strict command of eithers soveraignty.
Yet neither Title need we fear to leese,
Sithence there's both King and Common-wealth 'mongst Bees.
