21. On an Adamant.

Our hearts are like this unrelenting stone,
Nothing can melt them, save the bloud alone
Of the Messias: O sweet Jesus grant
Thy bloud may mollifie my Adamant:
Lord at thine hands a tender heart I crave,
A heart of flesh, let me thy servant have;
So shall I love thee, and adore thee still,
And yield obedience to thy Heavenly will.
