from On the Great Frost (1634)
When heaven drops some smaller showers, our sense
Of grief's increased, being but deluded thence;
For whiles we think those drops to entertain,
They fall down pearl, which came down half-way rain.
Greenland's removal now the poor man fears,
Seeing all waters frozen but his tears.
We suffer day continual, and the snow
Doth make our little night become noon now.
We hear of some encrystalled, such as have
That which procured their death become their grave.
Bodies, that destitute of soul yet stood,
Dead, and not fallen; drowned, and without a flood.
Nay we, who breathe still, are almost as they,
And only may be styled a softer clay;
We stand like statues, as if cast, and fit
For life, not having but expecting it:
Each man's become the Stoic's wise one hence;
For can you look for passion where's no sense?
– Which we have not, resolved to our first stone,
Unless it be one sense to feel we've none.
– William Cartwright (published 1651)
