Dead be my heart to all below,
To mortal joys and mortal cares;
To sensual bliss that charms us so.
Be dark mine eyes and deaf mine ears.
All earthly joys are overweigh'd.
With mountains of vexatious care:
And where's the sweet that is not laid,
A bait to some destructive snare?
Lord, I renounce my carnal taste
Of the fair fruit that sinners prize;
Their Paradise shall never waste
One thought of mine, but to despise.
Come, heav'n, and fill my vast desires;
My soul pursues the sovereign good;
She was all made of heavenly fires,
Nor can she live on meaner food.
