TO Caucasus, behoulde PROMETEVS chain'de, Whose liuer still, a greedie gripe dothe rente: He neuer dies, and yet is alwaies pain'de, With tortures dire, by which the Poëttes ment, That hee, that still amid misfortunes standes, Is sorrowes slaue, and bounde in lastinge bandes. For, when that griefe doth grate vppon our gall, Or surging seas, of sorrowes moste doe swell, That life is deathe, and is no life at all, The liuer rente, it dothe the conscience tell: Which being launch'de, and prick'd, with inward care, Although wee liue, yet still wee dyinge are. Qualiter in Scythica religatus rupe Prometheus, Assiduam nimio pectore pauit auem, &c. De quo, Diodor. Sicul. lib. 6. Horat. 1. Epist. 1. - hic murus aha- neus esto, Nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa. Martial. lib. 1.
