George Herbert - The Foil
Work rating: Low

               If we could see below
The sphere of vertue, and each shining grace,
     As plainly as that above doth show;
This were the better skie, the brighter place.

               God hath made starres the foil
To set off vertues; griefs to set off sinning:
     Yet in this wretched world we toil,
As if grief were not foul, nor vertue winning.
