I	A
Forbear this liquid fire Fly	A
It is more fatal then the dry	A
That singly but embracing wounds	B
And this at once both burns and drowns	C
	-
II	A
The salamander that in heat	D
And flames doth cool his monstrous sweat	E
Whose fan a glowing cake is said	F
Of this red furnace is afraid	G
	-
III	A
Viewing the ruby christal shine	H
Thou tak'st it for heaven christalline	H
Anon thou wilt be taught to groan	H
'Tis an ascended Acheron	H
	-
IV	I
A snow ball heart in it let fall	J
And take it out a fire ball	J
Ali icy breast in it betray'd	G
Breaks a destructive wild granade	G
	-
V	I
'Tis this makes Venus altars shine	H
This kindles frosty Hymen's pine	H
When the boy grows old in his desires	K
This flambeau doth new light his fires	K
	-
VI	I
Though the cold hermit over wail	L
Whose sighs do freeze and tears drop hail	L
Once having pass'd this will ne'r	M
Another flaming purging fear	N
	-
VII	I
The vestal drinking this doth burn	H
Now more than in her fun'ral urn	H
Her fires that with the sun kept race	O
Are now extinguish'd by her face	O
	-
VIII	I
The chymist that himself doth still	P
Let him but tast this limbecks bill	P
And prove this sublimated bowl	Q
He'll swear it will calcine a soul	Q
	-
IX	O
Noble and brave now thou dost know	H
The false prepared decks below	H
Dost thou the fatal liquor sup	R
One drop alas thy barque blowes up	R
	-
X	O
What airy country hast to save	I
Whose plagues thou'lt bury in thy grave	I
For even now thou seem'st to us	O
On this gulphs brink a Curtius	O
	-
XI	O
And now th' art faln magnanimous Fly	I
In where thine Ocean doth fry	I
Like the Sun's son who blush'd the flood	S
To a complexion of blood	S
	-
XII	O
Yet see my glad auricular	I
Redeems thee though dissolv'd a star	I
Flaggy thy wings and scorch'd thy thighs	O
Thou ly'st a double sacrifice	O
	-
XIII	O
And now my warming cooling breath	T
Shall a new life afford in death	T
See in the hospital of my hand	U
Already cur'd thou fierce do'st stand	U
	-
XIV	I
Burnt insect dost thou reaspire	I
The moist hot glasse and liquid fire	I
I see 'tis such a pleasing pain	H
Thou would'st be scorch'd and drown'd again	H
