- Love (II)
- by George Herbert
- Exported from Wikisource on 02/07/20
- Immortall Heat, O let thy greater flame
- Attract the lesser to it : let those fires
- Which shall consume the world, first make it tame,
- And kindle in our hearts such true desires,
- As may consume our lusts, and make thee way.
- Then shall our hearts pant thee ; then shall our brain
- All her invention on thine Altar lay,
- And there in hymnes send back thy fire again :
- Our eies shall see thee, which before saw dust ;
- Dust blown by wit, till that they both were blinde :
- Thou shalt recover all thy goods in kinde,
- Who wert disseized by usurping lust :
- All knees shall bow to thee ; all wits shall rise,
- And praise him who did make and mend our eies.
