Psalm lv. Verse 6.
O, that I had Wings, like a Dove!
Then would I flee away, and be at rest!
Then would I flee away, and be at rest!
O That my feet were wing'd, as my desire!
I would not, then, thus tediously retire:
Thus slowly rise, that, while to mount, I try,
I sink, beneath the weight, from which I fly!
Could I, like eagles, sail upon the wind,
Might curses catch me, when I look'd behind!
360
My soul reach'd heav'n, nor stop'd to bait at death.
