| <BLOCKQUOTE>Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,<BR> | |
| [ ] these rebel powers that thee array;<BR> | |
| Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,<BR> | |
| Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?<BR> | |
| Why so large cost, having so short a lease,<BR> | |
| Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?<BR> | |
| Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,<BR> | |
| Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end?<BR> | |
| Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,<BR> | |
| And let that pine to aggravate thy store;<BR> | |
| Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;<BR> | |
| Within be fed, without be rich no more:<BR> | |
| So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men,<BR> | |
| And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.<BR> | |
