And sometimes we are devils to ourselves,
When we will tempt the frailty of our powers,
Presuming on their changeful potency.”

Causeth full many a man in sleep to cry
For fear of blacke bears, or bulles black,
Or elles blacke devils will them take.”

When devils will the blackest sins put on,
They do suggest at first with heavenly shows,
As I do now.”
