          Because thy humble cottage; or thy tub;

          Nurses some lazy or pedantic virtue

          In the cheap sunshine or by shady springs;

          With roots and pot…herbs; where thy right hand;

          Tearing those humane passions from the mind;

          Upon whose stocks fair blooming virtues flourish;

          Degradeth nature; and benumbeth sense;

          And; Gorgon…like; turns active men to stone。

          We not require the dull society

          Of your necessitated temperance;

          Or that unnatural stupidity

          That knows nor joy nor sorrow; nor your forc'd

          Falsely exalted passive fortitude

          Above the active。  This low abject brood;

          That fix their seats in mediocrity;

          Become your servile minds; but we advance

          Such virtues only as admit excess;

          Brave; bounteous acts; regal magnificence;

          All…seeing prudence; magnanimity

          That knows no bound; and that heroic virtue

          For which antiquity hath left no name;

          But patterns only; such as Hercules;

          Achilles; Theseus。  Back to thy loath'd cell;

          And when thou seest the new enlightened sphere;

          Study to know but what those worthies were。

                                 T。 CAREW
