Chearfulness.
LOrd, with what courage, and delightI doe each thingWhen thy least breath sustaines my wing!I shine, and moveLike those above,And (with much gladnesseQuitting sadnesse,)Make me faire dayes of every night.

Affliction thus, meere pleasure is,And hap what will,If thou be in't, 'tis welcome still;But since thy rayesIn Sunnie dayesThou dost thus lendAnd freely spend,Ah! what shall I return for this?
O that I were all Soul! that thouWouldst make each partOf this poor, sinfull frame pure heart!Then would I drownMy single one,And to thy praiseA Consort raiseOf Hallelujahs here below.
