That a Vexed Conscience is the Onely Hell on Earth
The Bodies rest doth most disease the Soule ,
that is diseased with Sinnes sorest Sting:
For then the Thoughts about that Pricke doe roule,
and to the Soule an Hell of Horror bring!
The Minde then looking into Fancies Mirrour,
sees nothing there but Sinne that sits a Broode
On grimme Chimarus , and sights full of harror
so to confound the Minde , or mad her mood .
For when Sinne onely fronts the Phantasie ,
that Glasse reflects these horrid Formes , by kinde
Then, when the body most alone doth lye.
these Monsters muster most about the Minde
O! Plague of Plagues , when Sense nor Reas'n can spye
A Reall Obiect from a Phantasie!
