Religion

Book IV, 116: On the same

by Francis Quarles 1592–1644

From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV

Religion

You'l take it sitting: Pray; and no man know it:
You'l doe, and yet you will not seeme to doe it:
You'l bow your Heart, although you bend no Knee:
'Tis like your Selfe; You seeme, not what you be.
