Wee all appear'd; no man gave breath to thought;
But like to silent Traytors in a Vault,
Digg'd on our way; or as wee Traytors were
T'our selves, and jealous of each others Eare:
And as i'th Worlds great Showre, some that did spie
(Hors'd on the Plaines) Rivers, and Seas draw nigh;
Spurr'd on apace; in feare all lost their time,
That could not reach a ground where they might climbe;
So wee did never thinke us safe, untill
Wee had attain'd the Top o'th first high Hill:
And now it cleer'd: so to my travail'd Eie,
Lookes a round yellow Dane, when he doth spie
Neere to his puissant Arme, a Bowle so full,
That it may fill his Bladder, and his Skull,
As Phebus at this moysture falne; who laught;
To see such plenty for his mornings draught:
But like Chamelions Colours that decay
But seemingly to give new colours way;
So our false griefs, had not themselves outworne,
But step'd aside, to vary in returne.
Beare witnesse World! for now my tir'd Horse stood,
As I, a Vaulter were, and himselfe Wood:
