TO GOD (3), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Do with me, god! As thou didst deal with john
Last Line: My sackcloth here; but there my stole of white.
Subject(s): Bible; John The Baptist, Saint (1st Century); Religion; Theology


Do with me, God! as Thou didst deal with John,
(Who writ that heavenly Revelation)
Let me (like him) first cracks of thunder heare;
Then let the Harps inchantments strike mine eare;
Here give me thornes; there, in thy Kingdome, set
Upon my head the golden coronet;
There give me day; but here my dreadfull night:
My sackcloth here; but there my Stole of white.
