A23820	Allison, John, 1644 or 5-1683.	Upon the late lamentable fire in London in an humble imitation of the most incomparable Mr. Cowley his Pindarick strain / by J.A. of Kings-Colledge in Camb., Fellow.	1667		.xml	application/xml	3074	106	68	While Men in sin grew wiser yet , And various in their wickedness , God himself did think it fit Their punishment should be no less , The Air it self which makes our breath , Became an instrument of death , If still offences of a deeper die Offend his purer eye , He gives an other Judgment birth , Fire comes from Heav'n , or Fire from Earth Thus the four Elements take turns , He Drowns , he Swallows us alive , he Plagues , or else he Burns . Now uncontroul'd the greedy Fire Shews its unlimited desire , And though not high enough for sight , Makes all the neighbouring tops of houses bright , Like the warm Guest That takes his journey from the blooming East , Suppos'd himself t' appear , When yet beneath our Hemisphere , By those who his reflected rayes mistake , And think the Sun , and day together break : The Watches now in every street Eccho the dreadful noyse of Fire , Which calls with the same energy from bed , As the last Trumpet shall the dead , And bids them all draw nigher ,	cache/A23820.xml	txt/A23820.txt
