Of CRVELTY

BUt now whilst we are seeking to beware Of foolish Pity, we must have a care, Left this or'e run us: For though men confess 'Tis an inhuman hellish VVickedness, Though Cruelty so odious doth appear, Unless men look to their Affections near. It will become delightful, yea, and make So deep impression in the Heart, and take So sure a Root, 'twill hardly be displaced VVhilst that the Body by the Soul is graced. Trust me, be't on a Beast, Nature denyes And God forbids, that we should Tyranize. But now in short I'll here conclude with this, As he is blessed that meek-hearted is. So on the Cruel, lightly doth attend A heavy Curse, and a most fearful end.
