No. 64. WITH DIGBY’S AGES OF FAITH.

I AM not learned in such lore divine;
Take it: in scenes which other thoughts invade,
It may one hour cast round a cooler shade,
Yet darken not that gentle breast of thine.

It tells of Peace, and those she call’d to dwell
Apart with her, when desperate Sin opprest
The struggling Earth; it can not reach thy breast,
But troubles may; so take this holy spell.
