[One chinke there was and not another way]

One chinke there was and not another way
For Boreas, his fury to essay;
So Hectors fatall gift Aiax confounded,
And stob'd him where he onely could be wounded;
Apollo so directed Paris dart
To wound Achilles foote, and kill his heart.
Death lies in ambush like an enemy,
And brasheth where our sconces weakest be.
Whether an icecle or drop of water,
Or gnat, or Londons Scholler-killing letter.
A thousand trickes we see of cunning death;
He makes or finds a way to stop our breath.
