I made a posy while the day ran by: Here will I smell my remnant out, and tie My life within this band. But Time did beckon to the flowers, and they By noon most cunningly did steal away, And withered in my hand.
-
I struck the board, and cried, 'No more. I will abroad.' What? shall I ever sigh and pine? My lines and life are free; free as the road, Loose as the wind, as large as store. Shall I be still in suit? Have I no harvest buta thorn To let me blood, and not restore What I have lost with cordial fruit? Sure there was wine Before my sighs did dry it; there was corn Before my tears did drown it; Is the year only lost to me? Have I no bays to crown it?

Judge not the preacher, for he is thy Judge: If thou mislike him, thou conceiv'st him not. God calleth preaching folly. Do not grudge To pick out treasures from an earthen pot. The worst speaks something good: if all want sense, God takes a text, and preacheth patience.

Lord, with what care Thou hast begirt us round! Parents first season us: then schoolmasters Deliver us to laws; they sendus bound To rules of reason, holy messengers, Pulpits and Sundays, sorrow dogging sin, Afflictions sorted, anguish of all sizes, Fine nets and stratagems to catch us in, Bibles laid open, millions of surprises.
-
Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back, Guilty of dust and sin. But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, If I lacked any thing.
-
Love is swift of foot; Love's a man of war, And can shoot, And can hit from far.

Love is that liquor sweet and most divine, Which my God feels as blood; but I, as wine.

Lovely enchanting language, sugar-cane, Honey of roses!

Man stole the fruit, but I must climb the tree.

My friend may spit upon my curious floor: Would he have gold? I lend it instantly; but let the poor, and Thou within them, starve at door. I cannot use a friend, as I use Thee.

Now I am here, what thou wilt do with me None of my books will show: I read, and sigh, and wish I were a tree; For then I should grow To fruit or shade: at least some bird would trust Her household to me, and I should be just.

Oh mighty love! Man is one world, and hath Another to attend him.
