"But all your flame and passion's pure: / Your thoughts you show in such a comely dress, / As never sullied Theater nor Press."
Metaphor in Context
When you have travers'd all the Sciences,
Your patient soul in these sweet Arts you ease:
You Court your Muse neither for gain nor Dower
But all your flame and passion's pure:
Your thoughts you show in such a comely dress,
As never sullied Theater nor Press;
Yet so severely prick
That the most sluggish Asse does kick,
And scourge no less the fool and lunatick.

That the most sluggish Asse does kick,
And scourge no less the fool and lunatick.
