A Key Into the Language of America, or an Help to the Language of the Natives in That Part of America Called New-England / Together with Briefe Observations of the Customes, Manners, and Worships, &c. of the Aforesaid Natives, etc.

by Roger Williams

1. Their Braines are quick, their hands,

Their feet, their tongues, their eyes:

God may fit objects in his time,

To those quicke faculties.

2. Objects of higher nature make them tell,

The holy number of his Sons Gospel:

Make them and us to tell what told may be;

But stand amazed at Eternitie.
