SOUL.
Summe up at night what thou hast done by day;
And in the morning what thou hast to do.
Dresse and undresse thy soul; mark the decay
And growth of it: if, with thy watch, that too
Be down, then winde up both; since we shall be
Most surely judged, make thy accounts agree.
The Temple: The Church Porch. G. HERBERT.
Go to your bosom;
Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.
Measure for Measure, Act ii. Sc. 2. SHAKESPEARE.
O ignorant, poor man! what dost thou bear
Locked up within the casket of thy breast?
What jewels and what riches hast thou there?
What heavenly treasure in so weak a chest?
Worth of the Soul. SIR J. DAVIES.
Let Fortune empty all her quiver on me;
I have a soul that like an ample shield,
Can take in all, and verge enough for more.
Sebastian, Act i. Sc. 1. J. DRYDEN.
And keeps that palace of the soul serene.
Of Tea. E. WALLER.
A happy soul, that all the way
To heaven hath a summer's day.
In Praise of Lessius' Mule of Health. R. CRASHAW.
And rest at last where souls unbodied dwell,
In ever-flowing meads of Asphodel.
