First lines
Into thy land of sunlight I have come, And live within thy presence, as a ray Of light lives in the brightness of the day; And find in thee my heaven and my home.
Yet what am I that thou shouldst ope the gate Of thy most sweet completeness; and should spend Rich values of thy life on me thy friend, For which I have no worthy duplicate!
Nay, lady, I no riches have to give; I have no name of honour, or the pride Of place, to priv'lege me to sit beside
Thee in thy kingdom, where thy graces live.
