32
The more vnlike to God, the worse the Man:
Things most like Gods, vnlike, are most vile things:
God Brightnesse is, with Him it first began:
The Douill is darkenesse, and from him it springs
Who's bright, or loueth brightnesse, is like God:
Who then in Darkenesse loues, is like the Deuil:
Who then in Darkenesse liues, or makes abode,
Doth liue like Gods vnlike, the Fount of Euill
To liue or die alone, it is all one;
Saue that, of both extreames , to die is best:
The Bensts most brute, delight to liue alone,
And whosoe liueth soe, liues like a Beast:
I cannot thinke that Men such Beasts will bee,
For, Men and Beasts lyue with their like we see.
