TEN COMMANDMENTS, by GEORGE WITHER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The great almighty spake, and thus said he Subject(s): Ten Commandments | |||
THe great Almighty spake; And thus said he; I am the LORD thy GOD; And I alone From cruell Ae·ypts thraldome set thee free: And other G·DS but Me thou shalt haue none. Haue mercy LORD, and so our hearts encline, That we may keepe this blessed Law of thine. Thou shalt not make an Image, to adore, Of ought on earth aboue it, or below: A Carued Worke thou shalt not ··w before; Nor any worship on the same ·estowe. For, I thy GOD, a Iealous GOD am knowne; And on their Seed the Fathers sinnes correct; Untill the third, and fourth Descent be gone: But them I alwaies loue, that me affect. Haue mercy LORD, and so our hearts encline, That we may keepe this blessed Law of thine | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THOUGHTS ON THE COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE AUGUSTUS BAKER JR.
