By
John Donne.
And thy
illustrious Zodiacke
Of twelve
apostles, which ingirt this All,
(From whom whosoever do not take
Their light, to
darke
deep pits, throw downe, fall,)
As through their
prayers, thou'hast let mee know
That their bookes are
divine;
May they pray still, and be heard, that I goe
Th'old broad way in applying; O decline
Mee, when my comment would make thy
word mine.
