From being anxious, or secure

(i)

From being anxious, or secure,
Dead clods of sadness, or light squibs of mirth,
From thinking, that great courts immure
All, or no happiness, or that this earth
Is only for our prison fram'd,
Or that thou art covetous
To them whom thou lovest, or that they are maim'd
From reaching this world's sweet, who seek thee thus,
With all their might, Good Lord deliver us.

Is only for our prison fram'd,

To them whom thou lovest, or that they are maim'd
From reaching this world's sweet, who seek thee thus,
With all their might, Good Lord deliver us.
