Dignity
Regardless of cohort armed force;
having judged the crisis fever,
their quality never doth comes of vanity,
yet a real grandeur of self cruelty;
like parasite germs disease th' frail.
Belief tho' confide's th' sudden fall,
like feather faith call;
cachet's th' frail to merit thy soul,
an hew thy own majesty in mind
to an endless exaltation combined;
an keep what you can never defeat
even if you ought to; passages shame;
how doth never thought that this was for you,
faith only beholds all true.
