Religion
An Hymne (2)
From Poeticall Miscellanies (1633)
Religion
DRop, drop, slow tears,
and bathe those beauteous feet,
Which brought from heav'n
the news and Prince of peace:
Cease not, wet eyes,
his mercies to intreat;
To crie for vengeance
sinne doth never cease:
In your deep flouds
drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let his eye
see sinne, but through my tears.
