 | Prison-Pietie |  |
On Love and Hatred.
I Love too much, to hate what I should love;I love too much, to love what I should hate.
My Love and Hatred in wrong Centres move,
Such hateful love, God doth abominate.
I love not Goodness, neither hate I Evil:
My Hate to Vertue's hot, to Vice is cold.
I love too little God, too much the Devil;
My Love and Hate, wrong Objects do behold.
Lord, change my Love to Hate, my Hate to Love,
That so thy Justice may of both approve.
