Lord, how I am all ague, when I seek / What I have treasur'd in my memory! / Since, if my soul make even with the week, / Each seventh note by right is due to thee. / I find there quarries of pil'd vanities, / But shreds of holiness, that dare not venture / To show their face, since cross to thy decrees: / There the circumference earth is, heav'n the centre. / In so much dregs the quintessence is small: / The spirit and good extract of my heart / Comes to about the many hundredth part. / Yet Lord restore thine image, hear my call: / And though my hard heart scarce to thee can groan, / Remember that thou once didst write in stone.George Herbert
