Sanction, O God, some little pleasant thing.
Nor set our every joy with snare and sting; I would not break Thy law, — ^yet must I still Unto my innocent transgressions cling.
Lo ! Nature's law and God's — two angry fires — Each the allegiance of my soul requires ; Strange God that made, unmake me what I am- Or reconcile the law to my desires!
53 Digitized by Google Who set this wine-cup in my willing way?
Who made this woman of enchanted clay?
When gods decree such difficult commands.
They shou...ld give too the power to obey.
*Tis but a fiat of impossible good, A dream of high fantastic rectitude; *Tis not for man, that lordly animal.
While of its ancient colour runs his blood.
If I were God, and this poor world were mine, O thou shouldst see on what a fair design I would rebuild it like a dream for thee.
Nor shouldst thou ever blush to call it thine.
54 Digitized by Google If I were God, the very stars and flowers Should be more fair, and all the sterns and sours Change to a music sweet as rivers flowing — If I were God, and this poor world were ours.
