Book IV, 34: On abosome Sin

by Francis Quarles 1592–1644

From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV

Religion

That Sin that finds more credit then the rest,
That is thy Darling, leanes upon thy brest;
That, in the Bsome of thy heart does lye;
That dips within thy dish, Sayes, Is it I?
That gives thee kisses? that's the Sin that slayes thee,
O that, O that's the Iudas, that betrayes thee.
