George Herbert - The Water-Course
Work rating: Low

Thou who dost dwell and linger here below,
Since the condition of this world is frail,
Where of all plants afflictions soonest grow;
If troubles overtake thee, do not wail:

     For who can look for lesse, that loveth  {Life.
                                                              {Strife.

But rather turn the pipe, and waters course
To serve thy sinnes, and furnish thee with store
Of sov`raigne tears, springing from true remorse:
That so in purenesse thou mayst him adore

     Who gives to man, as he sees fit,  {Salvation.
                                                      {Damnation.
