Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise; My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.
Those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Wine lets no lover unrewarded go.
Love finds an altar for forbidden fires.
If I am right, Thy grace impart Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, O, teach my heart To find that better way!
Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land? All fear, none aid you, and few understand.
