Hath claw'd me in his clutch.

Hath clawed me with his clutch,
And lusty life away she leaps,
As there had been none such.

When all is done and said, in the end thus shall you find,
He most of all doth bathe in bliss that hath a quiet mind;
And, clear from worldly cares, to deem can be content
The sweetest time in all his life in thinking to be spent.

For many have been harmed by speech,
Through thinking, few or none.

Thomas, Lord Vaux
