He would adore my gifts instead of me, And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature: So both should losers be. — George Herbert
He would adore my gifts instead of me,
And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature:
So both should losers be.

More from this book
Who would have thought my shrivel'd heart
Could have recovered greenness?
Whereas if the heart be moved,
Although the verse be somewhat scant,
God doth supply the want.
Thy rope of sands,
Which petty thoughts have made, and made to thee
Good cable, to enforce and draw,
And be thy law,
While thou didst wink and wouldst not see.
