2 Moths often spoil things rich and rare, As well as of small worth, So thou, O Lord, wilt neither spare The poor nor rich of th' earth:
3 All are alike, O Lord, to thee, If wrath on them do seize, Unsensibly thou canst them spoil Like Moths, if thou dost please.

5 Thou like a Moth, art sometimes, Lord, In Counsels Princes trust, ⟨p. 26⟩Who Plots of Enemies can't see Till out they fiercely burst.
