L. Bar.

It was (my Lord) who lin'd himself with hope,

Eating the ayre, on promise of Supply,

Flatt'ring himselfe with Proiect of a power,

Much smaller, then the smallest of his Thoughts,

And so with great imagination

(Proper to mad men) led his Powers to death,

And (winking) leap'd into destruction.
