THE CONVERTED
2920That no wrongs heate it, is a patient foole,
2923Patience my Lord; why tis the soule of peace:
2924Of all the vertues tis neerst kin to heauen.
2925It makes men looke like Gods; the best of men
2929The stock of Patience then cannot be poore,
2930All it desires, it has; what Monarch more?
2931It is the greatest enemy to law
2932That can be, for it doth embrace all wrongs,
2933And so chaines vp, lawyers and womens tongues.
2934Tis the perpetuall prisoners liberty:
2936And makes him seeme prowd of each yron chaine.
2937As tho he wore it more for state then paine:
2939Although their bodies beg, their soules are kings:
2941Reares vs aloft; makes men and Angels kisse,
2949So calme a spirit is worth a golden Mine,
2950Wiues (with meeke husbands) that to vex them long,
2951In Bedlam must they dwell, els dwell they wrong.
2953FINIS.
