Upon the Asse That Bore Our Saviour

Hath onely Anger an Omnipotence
In Eloquence?
Within the lips of Love and Joy doth Dwell
No miracle?
Why else had Baalams Asse a tongue to chide
His Masters pride?
And thou (Heaven-burthen'd Beast) hast ne're a word
To praise thy Lord?
That he should find a Tongue and vocall Thunder,
Was a great wonder.
But o me thinkes 'tis a farre greater one
That thou find'st none.
