Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH A WISE MAN ALL PRESSURES CAN SUSTAINE
Last Line: HE FEELES WHEN PACKS DO PINCH HIM; AND THE WHERE.

Though a wise man all pressures can sustaine;
His vertue still is sensible of paine:
Large shoulders though he has, and well can beare,
He feeles when Packs do pinch him; and the where.
