ELEG. XIX.
Tell us no more of Lands, and Wealth: we seeThey are nought else but winged vanity;
They flye from us, or we from them: but they
Who from the Treasure of Gods Word convey
True wealth into their sacred souls, shall be
Alive in death, and rich in Povertie.
Hence 'twas renowned, peerless Saint, that thou
Wouldst scarce look down upon these things below,
But, shutting thine exterior Eye, didst finde
The sure sight i'th' eye of thy cleer Minde.
