Whose Altars once mean Turtles entertained,
Whose Altars once mean Turtles entertain'd,
And from the mouths of Babes hast strength ordained;
And from the mouths of Babes hast strength ordain'd;
Purge with thy Beams my over-clouded mind;
Direct my Pen, my Intellect refine,
That I thy matchless Triumphs may indite,
And live in a due sense of what I write.
And you, dear Sirs,, that shall vouchsafe to read,
Charity's Mantle o'er my failings spread.
Charity's Mantle o're my failings spread.
High is my Theme, but weak and short my Sight;
My Eyes oft dazzled with Excess of Light.
My Eyes oft dazled with Excess of Light.
