Quickness

False life! a foil and no more, when

Wilt thou be gone?

Thou foul deception of all men

That would not have the true come on.

Thou art a Moon-like toil; a blind

Self-posing state;

A dark contest of waves and wind;

A mere tempestuous debate.

Life is a fix’d, discerning light,

A knowing joy;

No chance, or fit: but ever bright,

And calm and full, yet doth not cloy.

’Tis such a blissful thing, that still

Doth vivify,

And shine and smile, and hath the skill

To please without Eternity.

Thou art a toilsome Mole, or less

A moving mist

But life is, what none can express,

A quickness, which my God hath kissed.
