But Boys (my Lusts) into my Belfry go,

And pull these Ropes, but do no Musick make

They rather turn my Bells by what they do,

Or by disorder make my Steeple shake.

Then, Lord! I pray thee keep my Belfry Key,

Let none but Graces meddle with these Ropes:

And when these naughty Boys come, say them Nay.

From such Ringers of Musick there's no hopes.

O Lord! If thy poor Child might have his will,

And might his meaning freely to thee tell;
