A POEM.
GOd's favour's like the Sun, whose beams appear,To all that dwell in the Worlds Hemisphere;Though not to all alike, to some they expressThemselves more Radiant, and to other less:The other Planets to some propitious fall,Yet all by Gods Decree, who Ruleth all;Did not our interposed sins make Night,It would be Day, and that Day alwayes bright;We need not fear Plague, Poverty, or SwordNor e're be puzzled at so poor a word;The Year would whirl about in happy mirth,And O be joyful sung throughout the Earth;Ʋnhappy sin! that did it so much deface,The intended beauty of all Adams Race;And laid us under God Almighties hand,Whose mighty power none's able to withstand;Let's now repent, least we too soon are hurl'dBefore next year into another World.
