The Posie



Let wits contest,
And with their words and posies windows fill:
Lesse then the least
Of all thy mercies,
is my posie still.

This on my ring,
This by my picture, in my book I write;
Whether I sing,
Or say, or dictate, this is my delight.

Invention rest,
Comparisons go play, wit use thy will:
Lesse then the least
Of all Gods mercies,
is my posie still.
