A divine centurie of spirituall sonnets 004 - ZaunköniG - 23.02.2026
SONNET. IIII.
Deare comforter (with whose deare precious blood,
The costly ransome of my sinnes was paide,
For my redemption murthered and betraide,
Sole spotlesse Lambe before the throane which stoode
Opening the seuen sealde Booke: who for pure foode
Thy precious selfe in sacrifice had'st laide
To my soules sustenance: which had decaide
If thou hadst not beene lifted on the roode)
O let my soule (thy Temple) be perfum'de
With sacred incense of thy vertuous grace:
Which hauing with repentant sighes presum'de
(Though charg'de with sinne) to kneele before thy face,
Yet for like Almes (in mercy) doth implore,
Though last in worke, with those which wrought before.
