He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true warfaring Christian. I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race, where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.

Hence, loathèd Melancholy, Of Cerberus, and blackest Midnight born, In Stygian cave forlorn 'Mongst horridshapes, and shrieks, and sights unholy.
-
Hence, vain deluding joys, The brood of folly without father bred.
-
Henceforth I fly not death, nor would prolong Life much, bent rather how I may bequit Fairest and easiest of this cumbrous charge, Which I must keep till my appointed day Of rendering up, and patiently attend My dissolution.
-
Her rash hand in evil hour Forth reaching to the fruit, she plucked, she ate: Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat Sighing through all her works gave signs of woe That all was lost.
-
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition though in hell: Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.

Hide me from day's garish eye, While the bee with honied thigh, That at her flowery work doth sing, And the waters murmuring And such consort as they keep, Entice the dewy-feathered Sleep.
