The Pulley | |
When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by; Let us (said he) pour on him all we can; Let the world's riches, which dispersed lie, Contract into a span. | |
So strength first made a way; Then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure: When almost all was out, God made a stay, Perceiving that alone of all his treasure Rest in the bottom lay. | |
For if I should (said he) Bestow this jewel also on my creature, He would adore my gifts instead of me, And rest in Nature, not the God of Nature: So both should losers be. | |
Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness: Let him be rich and weary, that at least, If goodness lead him not, yet weariness May toss him to my breast. | |
- George Herbert (1593 - 1633) |
