Upon T. C. Having the Pox

inglés

Troth, Tom, I must confess I much admire
Thy water should find passage through the fire;
For fire and water never could agree:
These now by nature have some sympathy:
Sure then his way he forces, for all know5
The French ne'er grants a passage to his foe.
If it be so, his valour I must praise,
That being the weaker, yet can force his ways;
And wish that to his valour he had strength,
That he might drive the fire quite out at length;10
For, troth, as yet the fire gets the day,
For evermore the water runs away.
