And so run headlong, careless of our good, Into all danger that the world hath sent; But Heaven be prais'd, that I have this withstood, I never knew what carnal action meant; For other sins I know I have a share, As deep as any that committed sin, And more must have; I yet cannot forbear: Such is the state my restless soul lives in, Such is my state, unless thou dost relent My daily wrong, and then I shall repent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO RICHARD R.
