[Sometimes a well-aymd thought would point at Heaven]
Sometimes a well-aymd thought would point at HeavenBut 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,
2
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.
