George Herbert - The Reprisall
Work rating: Low

          I have consider`d it, and finde
There is no dealing with Thy mighty passion:
For though I die for thee, I am behinde;
          My sinnes deserve the condemnation.

          O make me innocent, that I 
May give a disentangled state and free;
And yet thy wounds still my attempts defie,
          For by thy death I die for thee.

          Ah! was it not enough that thou
By thy eternall glorie didst outgo me?
Couldst thou not grief`s sad conquests me allow,
          But in all vict`ries overthrow me?

          Yes by confession will I come
Into thy conquest. Though I can do nought
Against thee, in thee I will overcome
          The man, who once against thee fought.
