ELEG. XVI.
Quake Ranter-Gallants, and despair to beeExempt from Deaths untimely stroke, sith he
Is faln so soon, untainted with a Glance
Sparkling from Lust, or vain Intemperance;
Which hasten on your Fate, whose ev'ry Eye,
As well as Mouth 's enslav'd to Gluttony.
You live so loosly, that your Lives may be
Slipt from you by the true Mortalitie.
Then through His Death cast thoughts upon your ovvn,
And so His Life shall in your lives be shown.
