MY words and thoughts do both expresse this notion, That Life hath with the sun a double motion. The first Is straight, and our diurnall friend; The other Hid, and doth obliquely bend. One life is wrapt In flesh, and tends to earth: The other winds towards Him whose happie birth Taught me to live here so, That still one eye Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high; Quitting with daily labour all My pleasure, To gain at harvest an eternal Treasure. |
