    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.

    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.”

    “Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
    To mourn, and murmur and repine,
    To see the wicked placed on high,
    In pride and robes of honor shine.

    Thy sanctuary taught me so,
    On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
    And fiery billows roll below.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
