TO GOD, HIS GOOD WILL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Gold I have none, but I present my need
Last Line: Both with the rubie, pearle, and diamond.
Subject(s): God


Gold I have none, but I present my need,
O Thou, that crown'st the will, where wants the deed.
Where Rams are wanting, or large Bullocks thighs,
There a poor Lamb's a plenteous sacrifice.
Take then his Vowes, who, if he had it, would
Devote to Thee, both incense, myrrhe, and gold,
Upon an Altar rear'd by Him, and crown'd
Both with the Rubie, Pearle, and Diamond.
