Fly Vaine Pleasures, as Paines Intollerable
If Vanitie be All , and All be vaine,
how scapes he from this All , that's All in All?
It is, because He euer doth remaine
the Cause of Causes metaphisicall.
Sith fiends immortall are, not vaine they are
for Vanitie is but the Instrument
Wherewith, in sport, they doe this All ensnare,
to bring the same to Be as they are bent.
And, so, vnbend their being , and, distort
the cuen Compasse that became their Forme:
So Vanitie them backward bends in sport;
and, Sathan still, in sport, doth them deforme:
O then let All that would be bent aright,
Beware these sports , that doe distort them quite.
