. Divine emblems; or Temporal things spiritualized, &c. . me, I thy roie will be;Yet offer I to gather role or bud,Ten to one but the bum will have my blood.

Doft the wanton play,Or doth thy tefty humour tend this way ? COMPARISON. This rofe Gods Son is, with His ruddy looks: But whats the bum ? whole pricks, like tenter-hooks, Do scratch and claw the fineft ladys hands, Or rend her clothes, if she too near it stands. This bufti an emblem is of Adams race, Of which Chrift came, when He His Fathers grace Commended to us in His crimfon blood, While He in sinners stead and nature stood. Thus Adams race did bear this dainty rose,And doth the same to Adams race thole of Adams race which at it catch,Them will the race of Adam claw and FOR YOUTH. 67 XXX. OF THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN.
