The English Works of George Herbert: Newly Arranged and Annotated and Considered in Relation to His Life, المجلد 3Houghton Mifflin, 1905 He was noted for unfailing care for his parishioners, bringing the sacraments to them when they were ill, and providing food and clothing for those in need. Henry Vaughan said of him"a most glorious saint and seer". Throughout his life he wrote religious poems characterized by a precision of language, a metrical versatility, and an ingenious use of imagery or conceits that was favoured by the metaphysical school of poets. Charles Cotton described him as a "soul composed of harmonies". Herbert himself, in a letter to Nicholas Ferrar said of his writings, "they are a picture of spiritual conflicts between God and my soul before I could subject my will to Jesus, my Master". Some of Herbert's poems have endured as hymns, including "King of Glory, King of Peace" (Praise), "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing" (Antiphon) and "Teach me, my God and King" (The Elixir)."--Wikipedia June 2011. |

الصفحة 321 - VERTUE SWEET day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridall of the earth and skie; The dew shall weep thy fall to night, For thou must die. Sweet rose, whose hue angrie and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye; Thy root is ever in its grave, And thou must die.
الصفحة 323 - Sweet spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie; 10 My musick shows ye have your closes, And all must die. Onely a sweet and vertuous soul, Like season'd timber, never gives; But though the whole world turn to coal, 15 Then chiefly lives.
الصفحة 107 - CONSTANCY WHO is the honest man ? He that doth still and strongly good pursue, To God, his neighbour, and himself most true.

الصفحة 21 - THE QUIP THE merrie world did on a day With his train-bands and mates agree To meet together where I lay, And all in sport to geere at me.

الصفحة 283 - hearts will bleed. 20 Love is swift of foot. Love's a man of warre, And can shoot, And can hit from farre. Who can scape his bow? 25 That which wrought on thee, Brought thee low, Needs must work on me. Throw away thy rod. Though man frailties hath, 30 Thou art God. Throw away thy wrath.
الصفحة 9 - THE 23 PSALME THE God of love my shepherd is, And he that doth me feed. While he is mine and I am his, What can I want or need ? He leads me to the tender grasse, 5 Where I both feed and rest, Then to the streams that
