George Herbert - AaronGeorge Herbert - Aaron
Work rating: Low


          Holinesse on the head,     Light and perfections on the breast, Harmonious bells below, raising the dead     To lead them unto life and rest:           Thus are true Aarons drest.           Profanenesse in my head,     Defects and darknesse in my breast, A noise of passions ringing me for dead     Unto a place where is no rest:           Poore priest thus am I drest.           Only another head   I have, another heart and breast, Another musick, making live not dead,   Without whom I could have no rest:           In him I am well drest.           Christ is my onely head,   My alone onely heart and breast, My only musick, striking me ev`n dead;   That to the old man I may rest,           And be in him new drest.           So holy in my head,   Perfect and light in my deare breast, My doctrine tun`d by Christ, (who is not dead, But lives in me while I do rest).           Come, people; Aaron`s drest.
