Religion

All Musick, Sawces, Feasts, Delights and Pleasures

by Thomas Traherne 1636?–1674

From Poetical Works, ed. B. Dobell (1906)

Religion

All Musick, Sawces, Feasts, Delights and Pleasures,
Games, Dancing, Arts consist in govern'd Measures;
Much more do Words and Passions of the Mind
In Temperance their sacred Beauty find.
