Francis Quarles (Фрэнсис Куорлс)

The Loadstone

Eternal God! O Thou that only art
The sacred fountain of eternal light,
And blessed loadstone of my better part,
O Thou my heart's desire, my soul's delight!
Reflect upon my soul, and touch my heart;
And then my heart shall prize no good above Thee,
And then my soul shall know Thee; knowing, love Thee;
And then my trembling thoughts shall never start
From thy commands, or swerve the least degree,
Or once presume to move, but as they move in Thee. 

1. Hos Ego Versiculos
2. On the Infancy of Our Savior
3. Delight In God Only
4. On Change of Weather
5. On the Life and Death of Man
