Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The Third Booke. ¹ 38. How to make all the world peaceable
If so in ev’ry man the flesh would dwell
At concord with the spirit, that it cease
Against its soverainty to rebell,
The universall world would be at peace;
For if there were no avarice, no hate:
No pride, nor lust, there could be no debate.
