Sions Sonets: Sonet 14

by Francis Quarles 1592–1644

From Divine Poems (1633), Sions Sonets

Religion

THou sacred Center of my soule, in whome
I rest, behold thy wisht-for Love is come;
Refresht with thy delights, I have repasted
Vpon thy pleasures; my full soule hath tasted
Thy rip'ned dainties, and hath freely beene
Pleas'd with those fruits, that are (as yet) but green
All you that love the honour of my Bride,
Come taste her Vineyards, and be deifi'de,
