Not rudely, as a beast,

To run into an action; But still to make thee prepossessed, And give it his perfection.

A man that looks on glass

On it may stay his eye;
Or, if he pleaseth, through it pass,
And then the heaven espy.

All may of thee partake:
Nothing can be so mean,
Which with this tincture, for thy
sake,

Will not grow bright and clean.

A servant, with this clause,
Makes drudgery divine:
Who sweeps a room, as for thy laws,
Makes that, and the action, fine.

This is the famous stone

That turneth all to gold;

For that which God doth touch and

own

Cannot for less be told.

HERBERT.

SING UNTO THE LORD.

PSALM XCVI.

SING, and let your song be new,

Unto him that never endeth! Sing all earth, and all in you, Sing to God, and bless his name.

Of the help, the health he sendeth, Day by day new ditties frame.

Make each country know his worth:
Of his acts the wondered story
Paint unto each people forth.
For Jehovah great alone,

All the gods for awe and glory,
Far above doth hold his throne,

For but idols, what are they

Whom besides mad earth adoreth? He the skies in frame did lay; Grace and honor are his guides;

Majesty his temple storeth; Might in guard about him bides.

Kindreds come! Jehovah give, O give Jehovah all together, Force and fame whereso you live. Give his name the glory fit;
