TO GOD (10), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Pardon me god, (once more I thee intreat)
Last Line: And that will make me, and my work divine.
Subject(s): God


Pardon me God, (once more I Thee intreat)
That I have plac'd Thee in so meane a seat,
Where round about Thou seest but all things vaine,
Uncircumcis'd, unseason'd, and prophane.
But as Heavens publike and immortall Eye
Looks on the filth, but is not soil'd thereby;
So Thou, my God, may'st on this impure look,
But take no tincture from my sinfull Book:
Let but one beame of Glory on it shine,
And that will make me, and my Work divine.
