Against Irresolution and Delay in matters of Religion. London.' The differences are so many that it seems simpler to print the 1653 version here in full. WHAT Heav'n-besieged Heart is this Stands Trembling at the Gate of Blisse: Whose Definition is, A Doubt 'Twixt Life and Death, 'twixt In and Out. Ah! linger not, lov'd Soul: A slow And late Consent was a long No. Who grants at last, a great while try'de, What Magick-Bolts, what mystick Barrs Keep the free Heart from his own Hands? So when the Year takes cold we see In a cold self-captivity. Th' astonish'd Nymphs their Floud's strange Fate deplore, To find themselves their own severer Shoar. Love, that lends haste to heaviest things, In you alone hath lost his wings. Look round and reade the World's wide face, Where can you fix, to find Excuse Or Pattern for the Pace you use? Mark with what Faith Fruits answer Flowers, Seed-time's not all; there should be Harvest too. Both Winds and Waters urge their way, Mark how the curl'd Waves work and wind, Each bigge with businesse thrusts the other, That draw the Chariot of chast Loves, All things swear friends to Fair and Good, As if the Bargain had been driven (When one poor Sigh sends for him down) The late wings of the lazy Wind, Spurns the tame Laws of Time and Place, Disband dull Feares, give Faith the day: Yield then, O yield, that Love may win 1. 22.
