George Herbert - Dooms-DayGeorge Herbert - Dooms-Day
Work rating: Low


              Come away,           Make no delay. Summon all the dust to rise, Till it stirre, and rubbe the eyes; While this member jogs the other, Each one whispering, Live you, brother?               Come away,           Make this the day. Dust, alas, no musick feels But thy trumpet: then it kneels, As peculiar notes and strains Cure Tarantulaes raging pains.               Come away,           O make no stay! Let the graves make their confession, Lest at length they plead possession: Fleshes stubbornnesse may have     Read that lesson to the grave.               Come away,           Thy flock doth stray, Some to the windes their bodie lend, And in them may drown a friend: Some in noisome vapours grow To a plague and publick wo.               Come away,           Help our decay. Man is out of order hurl`d, Parcel`d out to all the world. Lord, thy broken consort raise, And the musick shall be praise.
