Prayer the Churches banquet, Angels age,

            Gods breath in man returning to his birth,

            The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,

The Christian plummet sounding heav’n and earth;

 

Engine against th’Almightie, sinners towre,

            Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,

            The six-daies world-transposing in an houre,

A kinde of tune, which all things heare and fear;

 

Softnesse, and peace, and joy, and love, and blisse,

            Exalted Manna, gladness of the best,

            Heaven in ordinarie, man well drest,

The milkie way, the bird of Paradise,

 

Church-bels beyond the stares heard, the souls bloud,

The land of spices; something understood.

 

                                                George Herbert (1593-1633)
