My Deare, Deare Lord, oh that my Heart was made Thy Golden Vessel filld with Graces Wine Received from thy Fulness and displaide Even by thy Spouse in her sweet Wine cup fine Unto thy blessed selfe to drinke at Will, Of her Sweet Wine unto thy very fill. Thy Love that's in thy Spouses Countenance Is so delighted with her Temples State, The Seate of Modesty that in't doth glance, Her Temples like a piece of Pomegranate That with Arteriall blood blossom with blushes, That in her Temples yield do spirituall flushes. The Temples where's the purest blood indeed Impregnate with the working Spirits ripe. That Warm and work the Brains as they proceed, Even from the Heart through the Arteriall pipe. Hence modest Looks and head that contemplate The Temples proper exercise and State. The Temples like a piece of Pomegranate Import thy Spirituall Beauty and Spirits high In purest heart blood through th'Arteriall Gate Into the Head. Hence these thy Visage dy Pomegranat like with Ruby blushes Stains And sharpen do thine Eyes with Spirituall Strains. And through thy Temples Silver Wickets go Int' Contemplations Temple brave and there In Spirituall Contemplations labour do On Christs rich Grace, and Glory every where, And how to manage well in Grace's wayes Sin to destroy. God's Ordinances raise. | 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 |
