To thee m’ inamour’d, panting Heart does move,

By Efforts of Ecstatic Love.

How do thy glorious streams of Light

Refresh my intellectual sight!

Tho broken, and strain’d through a Skreen

Of envious Flesh that stands between!

When shall m’ imprison’d Soul be free,

That she thy Native Uncorrected Light may see,

And gaze upon thy Beatifick Face to all Eternity?”

(Stz. 4.)
