WHERE NECESSITY PINCHES, HIL,ST I give light to others, I decay ;I lofe my felfe, whilft I to others play : I watch all night with an unfleepy eye, And oft, before the day doth dawne, I dye : How oft am I by bluftering Boreas mockt, And lighting others, I my felfe am chokt; If tumult, of a night affailing be, I am employd, no reft, no peace for me : What moft of men negleft, that I obferve. To fuccour others, though my felfe fliould ftarve: A Law but not of nature, which direds All of themfelves to have the prime refpedls.Codrus the King, his Country to defend.Much like a Prodigall his life did fpend,The Pelican to feede her plumelefle brood,Doth lance her breaft, and ftraine her pureft blood,The watchfull ftieepherd feldome feeing fteepe,Diredts, and keepes from wolves his ftraying sheepe:Even Chrift himfelfe, the Sonne of the moft Hie,Did fufFer death, left mortall man ftiould die.
