[Sometimes a well-aymd thought would point at Heaven]

Sometimes a well-aymd thought would point at Heaven
But O mine heart,
That broken Bow, carrying the shaft on even
Aside doth start:
Lord! that I may not, from that mark decline
Let my fraile Ew be back't with the true Vine,

And give me Arrows winged from above
With the sure flying feathers of the Dove,
Then guide my hand, and make me levell right
And 'tis thy honour if I hit the White.
