sir cedric hardwicke - the pulley lyrics

Loading...

when god at first made man
having a glass of blessings standing by
“let us,” said he, “pour on him all we can
let the world’s riches, which dispersèd lie
contract into a span.”

so strength first made a way;
then beauty flowed, then wisdom, honour, pleasure
when almost all was out, god made a stay
perceiving that, alone of all his treasure
rest in the bottom lay

“for if i should,” said he
“bestow this jewel also on my creature
he would adore my gifts instead of me
and rest in nature, not the god of nature;
so both should losеrs be

“yet let him keep thе rest
but keep them with repining restlessness;
let him be rich and weary, that at least
if goodness lead him not, yet weariness
may toss him to my breast.”
