Perhaps my restless soul, tired with pursuit

Of mortal beauty, seeking without fruit

Contentment there, which hath not, when enjoyed, 25

Quenched all her thirst, nor satisfied, though cloyed,

Weary of her vain search below, above

In the first Fair may find the immortal Love.

Prompted by thy example, then no more

In moulds of clay will I my God adore; 30

But tear those idols from my heart, and write

What his blest Spirit, not fond love, shall indite;
