When for the thorns with which I long, too long,
\nWith many a piercing wound,
\nMy Saviour’s head have crowned,
\nI seek with garlands to redress that wrong,?
\nThrough every garden, every mead,
\nI gather flowers (my fruits are only flowers),
\nDismantling all the fragrant towers
\nThat once adorned my shepherdess’s head :
\nAnd now, when I have summed up all my store,
\nThinking (so I my self deceive)
\nSo rich a chaplet thence to weave
\nAs never yet the King of Glory wore,
\nAlas ! I find the Serpent old,
\nThat, twining in his speckled breast,
\nAbout the flowers disguised, does fold
\nWith wreaths of fame and interest.
\nAh, foolish man, that wouldst debase with them,
\nAnd mortal glory, Heaven’s diadem !
\nBut thou who only couldst the Serpent tame,
\nEither his slippery knots at once untie,
\nAnd disentangle all his winding snare,
\nOr shatter too with him my curious frame,
\nAnd let these wither?so that he may die?
\nThough set with skill, and chosen out with care ;
\nThat they, while thou on both their spoils dost tread,
\nMay crown Thy feet, that could not crown Thy head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
