A short Ejaculation.
O God, who can those Passions tell
Wherewith my heart to Thee doth swell?
I cannot better them declare
Then by the Wish made by that rare
Aurelian Bishop, who of old
Thy Oracles in Hippo told.

If I were Thou, and Thou wert I,
I would resigne the Deity:
Thou sholdst be God, I wold be Man;
Is't possible that love more can?
Oh pardon, that my Soul hath tane
So high a flight, and grows prophane.
