¶ The Penitent.
LOrd, I'm a sinner, and my sins increaseTo such an unknown sum,That should my rockie heart and eyes,Nay, my whole Microcosm, a flood become,And drown it self in Tears, 'twould not sufficeTo name my score,Not then to pay:But, Lord, thy blood is my rich store,Thou art the Patron of the Poor;But all the Balsam of thy blood,Alas, I know will do no good,Unless I wash my griefs with Tears before.
descriptionPage 132
O thou whose sweet and pensive faceTo laughter never gave a place,Instruct mine eyes,Without delay,To melt away,And then the less of Balsam will suffice.
