SATYR. sextus. Contra Saturnistam.
Farewell a while chill and vnhallowed caues,
Where Saturne with deuouring mischiefe frets,
Where Melancholly chases, and madnes raues,
Where pain dead torments torments death begets,
Where discontent in ragged habit sits,
Where the harsh tunde vnwelcome Screech owle sings,
And buzzing Hornets flye with cobweb wings.
Where Saturne with deuouring mischiefe frets,
Where Melancholly chases, and madnes raues,
Where pain dead torments torments death begets,
Where discontent in ragged habit sits,
Where the harsh tunde vnwelcome Screech owle sings,
And buzzing Hornets flye with cobweb wings.
For for a while I must associate them,
That reaching Polliticians will be nam'd,
And what is done in countryes far do ken,
Vrging that nature all the world hath fram'd,
Affirming God in things is needlesse nam'd:
But that the influence of the heauen effects
Our good or bad still grac'te by all respects.

But that the influence of the heauen effects
Our good or bad still grac'te by all respects.
That take a pride in damned Machiauile,
And study his disciples to be thought:
Allowing all deedes be they neu'r so vile.
Such as haue hell-borne Atheisme taught,
Accounting scripture customes that are naught.
Such as are earnest Turks, where is a Turke,
And call the Alcharon a godly worke.

Such as are minded with Pythagoras,
And hold the transmigration to be true,
That after death mens soules to bruite beasts passe,
And then againe transforme their shape anew,
That lookt for resurrection is not due.
So liuing in licentious liberty,
Commit foule treasons, rape, and villany.

But oh deere knowledge do not so permit,
Thy reuerent vertues to be feard and maym'd:
Infuse thy comfort to some sacred wit,
Else will thy holy offerings be disdaind,
And all thy spotlesse excellence be staind.
These Tyrants will disroabe thee of thy right,
And cloth thee with torne garments of despight.

And cloth thee with torne garments of despight.
And thou religion draw thy steele bright sword,
And lop this cursed Hydra limbe by limbe,
Legions of Angels will attend thy word,
In cristall armor proofe from death and sinne:
When thou with triumph shalt the battaile winne.
And these sold slaues throgh Sathās gate shal passe
And liue in boyling leade and burning glasse.
