Religion
It is better to go into Heaven with one eye, &c.
Religion
ONe Eye? a thousand rather, and a Thousand more
To fix those full-fac't Glories, ô he's poore
Of Eyes that has but Argus store,
Yet if thou'lt fill one poore Eye, with thy Heaven and Thee,
O grant (sweet Goodnesse) that one Eye may be
All, and every whit of me.
