Even I'll look on patiently
If you your jagged toys all throw
Upon my carved bench, till it show
The wood is torn; and freely too,
I'll leave in your own hands to view,
My Bible--oft desired--
But which to touch your fear inspired--
With God in emperor's robes attired.
If you your jagged toys all throw
Upon my carved bench, till it show
The wood is torn; and freely too,
I'll leave in your own hands to view,
My Bible--oft desired--
But which to touch your fear inspired--
With God in emperor's robes attired.
