A sickness of this world it most occasions

A sickness of this world it most occasions

   When best men die;

A wishfulness their far condition

   To occupy.

A chief indifference, as foreign

   A world must be

Themselves forsake contented,

   For Deity.

< < < A shady friend for torrid days
A Snake > > >
