George Herbert - The MethodGeorge Herbert - The Method
Work rating: Low


          Poore heart, lament, For since thy God refuseth still, There is some rub, some discontent,           Which cools his will.           Thy Father could. Quickly effect, what thou dost move; For he is Power: and sure he would;           For he is Love.           Go search this thing, Tumble thy breast and turn thy book: If thou hadst lost a glove or ring,           Wouldst thou not look?           What do I see Written above there? Yesterday I did behave me carelessly,           When I did pray.           And should God`s eare To such indifferents chained be, Who do not their own motions heare?           Is God lesse free?           But stay! what`s there? Late when I would have something done, I had a motion to forbear,           Yet I went on.           And should God`s care, Which needs not man, by ty`d to those Who heare not him, but quickly heare           His utter foes?           Then once more pray: Down with thy knees, up with thy voice: Seek pardon first, and God will say,           Glad heart rejoyce.
