Stran 263 - Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens, Would all themselves laugh mortal.
Stran 194 - Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye When none but God is near.
