Blushes of burnisht Glory Sparkling Slide From every Square in various Colour'd glee Nay Life itselfe in Sparkling Spangles Choice. A Precious Pearle thou art above all price. Oh! that my Soul, Heavens Workmanship (within My Wicker'd Cage,) that Bird of Paradise Inlin'de with Glorious Grace up to the brim Might be thy Cabbinet, oh Pearle of Price. Oh! let thy Pearle, Lord, Cabbinet in mee. I'st then be rich! nay rich enough for thee. My Heart, oh Lord, for thy Pomander gain. Be thou thyselfe my sweet Perfume therein. Make it thy Box, and let thy Pretious Name My Pretious Ointment be emboxt therein. If I thy box and thou my Ointment bee I shall be sweet, nay, sweet enough for thee. Enough! Enough! oh! let me eat my Word. For if Accounts be ballanc'd any way, Can my poore Eggeshell ever be an Hoard, Of Excellence enough for thee? Nay: nay. Yet may I Purse, and thou my Mony bee. I have enough. Enough in having thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE JOY OF CHURCH FELLOWSHIP RIGHTLY ATTENDED by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE PREFACE by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 1 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 32 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 38 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 1ST SERIES: 8 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 2D SERIES: 3 by EDWARD TAYLOR PREPARATORY MEDITATIONS, 2D SERIES: 56 by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: CHRIST'S REPLY by EDWARD TAYLOR GOD'S DETERMINATIONS: THE JOY OF CHURCH FELLOWSHIP RIGHTLY ATTENDED by EDWARD TAYLOR |
