Devil. Tush, these are silly things to think upon. Shall Clouds thus dark thy Horizon; i'll scatter the•, and soon make clear Thy lovely Morning, do not fear; Yet to thee in some things i'll yield, So be i may but gain the Field; That there's a Heaven i can't deny, Yea, and a Hell of Misery; That Heaven is a lovely place, i can't deny, tis a clear Case, And easy tis for to come there, Poor Youth, take thee no farther Care▪ Where Prayers are Read, set thou do go, Where thou mayst Sleep as others do, Thou mayst swear, drink healths and Curse, And Church-men love thee ner•e the worse▪ At any time thou mayst Repent Twill serve when all thy Days are spent, Thou mayst have Christ and the World too, And saved be with half the do Which many make, if thou at last, Dost up thine Eyes to Heaven cast, And dost on thy dear Saviour roll, And beg him to receive thy Soul; Thou shalt be saved, do not fear. But take thy fill of Pleasures here.
