sum of men and angels prayr : This, this the day, whose all-discerning lightRansacks the secret dens of night,And severs good from bad ; true joys from falsedelight. Quarles1 Emblems. You grovling worldlings, you, whose wisdom trades Where light neer shol his golden ray,That hide your actions in Cimmerian shades.How will your eyes endure this day? Hills will be deaf, and mountains will not hear;There be n^ caves, no corners thereTo shade your souls from fire, to shield your heartsfrom fear. Hugo. O the extreme loathsomeness of fleshly lust, which notonly effeminates the mind, but enervates the body ; Whichnot only distaineth the soul, but disguiseth the person ! Itis ushered with fury and wantonness ; it is accompaniedwith filthiness and uncleanness ; and it is followed with griefand repentance. Epig. 9.What, sweet-faed Cupid, has thy bastard-treasure,Thy boasted honours, and thy bold-facd pleasurePerplexd thee now ? I told thee long ago,To what theyd bring thee, fool, to wit, to woe.
