He that fights and runs away,
Will live to fight another day;
For he that runs may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.

Secures her conquest by her flight:
And triumphs when she seems to yield.

So may the outward shows be least themselves;
The world is still deceived with ornament.

Obscures the show of evil? In religion,
What damned error but some sober brow
Will bless it and approve it with a text,
Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?

Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o'erfraught heart, and bids it break.
