On St. Paul's Conversion.
So shin'd that glorious Sun upon this Saint,That falling down he did both fear and faint.
It was the Light of God that shin'd, whose weight
Might sorely press, coming from such a height;
Encompass'd round, so that he could not flee
From that same voice, why persecutest thou me?
From that same date St. Paul's Conversion came,
And he grew Master of a shining Fame.
