 | Piety, and Poesy |  |
On Saul's Conversion in his Journey to Damascus.
When Saul was call'd to be a Convertite,God's glorious presence struck him blinde with light:
What strange Enygmaes Heaven can devise,
Saul then saw clearest, when he lost his Eyes,
At that rebound rise to Eternity;
Look here Ambition, learn this of Saul,
The onely way to rise high, is to fall.
