Hath skill to guide him, losing once his compass, He falleth to such deep and dangerous whirl-pools As he doth lose the very sight of heaven: The more he strives to come to quiet harbor, The further still he finds himself from land. Man, striving still to find the depth of evil, Seeking to be a God, becomes a Devil. COREB. Come, Fabell, hast thou done? FABELL. Yes, yes; come hither. COREB. Fabell, I cannot. FABELL. Cannot?--What ails your hollownes? COREB. Good Fabell, help me. FABELL. Alas, where lies your grief? Some Aqua-vitae! The Devil's very sick, I fear he'll die, For he looks very ill. COREB. |
