I	A
	-
Near Wilton sweet huge heaps of stones are found	B
But so confused that neither any eye	A
Can count them just nor Reason reason try	A
What force brought them to so unlikely ground	B
	-
To stranger weights my mind's waste soil is bound	B
Of passion hills reaching to Reason's sky	A
From Fancy's earth passing all number's bound	B
Passing all guess whence into me should fly	A
So mazed a mass or if in me it grows	C
A simple soul should breed so mixed woes	C
	-
II	A
	-
The Bruertons have a lake which when the sun	D
Approaching warms not else dead logs up sends	E
From hideous depth which tribute when it ends	E
Sore sign it is the lord's last thread is spun	D
	-
My lake is Sense whose still streams never run	D
But when my sun her shining twins there bends	E
Then from his depth with force in her begun	D
Long drowned hopes to watery eyes it lends	E
But when that fails my dead hopes up to take	F
Their master is fair warned his will to make	F
	-
III	A
	-
We have a fish by strangers much admired	G
Which caught to cruel search yields his chief part	H
With gall cut out closed up again by art	H
Yet lives until his life be new required	G
	-
A stranger fish myself not yet expired	I
Tho' rapt with Beauty's hook I did impart	H
Myself unto th' anatomy desired	G
Instead of gall leaving to her my heart	H
Yet live with thoughts closed up 'till that she will	J
By conquest's right instead of searching kill	J
	-
IV	K
	-
Peak hath a cave whose narrow entries find	L
Large rooms within where drops distil amain	D
Till knit with cold though there unknown remain	D
Deck that poor place with alabaster lined	L
	-
Mine eyes the strait the roomy cave my mind	L
Whose cloudy thoughts let fall an inward rain	D
Of sorrow's drops till colder reason bind	L
Their running fall into a constant vein	D
Of truth far more than alabaster pure	M
Which though despised yet still doth truth endure	M
	-
V	K
	-
A field there is where if a stake oe prest	N
Deep in the earth what hath in earth receipt	O
Is changed to stone in hardness cold and weight	P
The wood above doth soon consuming rest	N
	-
The earth her ears the stake is my request	N
Of which how much may pierce to that sweet seat	O
To honour turned doth dwell in honour's nest	N
Keeping that form though void of wonted heat	O
But all the rest which fear durst not apply	A
Failing themselves with withered conscience die	A
	-
VI	A
	-
Of ships by shipwreck cast on Albion's coast	Q
Which rotting on the rocks their death to die	A
From wooden bones and blood of pitch doth fly	A
A bird which gets more life than ship had lost	R
	-
My ship Desire with wind of Lust long tost	R
Brake on fair cliffs of constant Chastity	R
Where plagued for rash attempt gives up his ghost	R
So deep in seas of virtue beauties lie	A
But of this death flies up the purest love	K
Which seeming less yet nobler life doth move	K
	-
VII	K
	-
These wonders England breeds the last remains	S
A lady in despite of Nature chaste	R
On whom all love in whom no love is placed	R
Where Fairness yields to Wisdom's shortest reins	S
	-
A humble pride a scorn that favour stains	S
A woman's mould but like an angel graced	R
An angel's mind but in a woman cased	R
A heaven on earth or earth that heaven contains	S
Now thus this wonder to myself I frame	T
She is the cause that all the rest I am	U
	-
	-
	-
Thou blind man's mark thou fool's self chosen snare	V
Fond fancy's scum and dregs of scattered thought	R
Band of all evils cradle of causeless care	V
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought	R
	-
Desire Desire I have too dearly bought	R
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware	V
Too long too long asleep thou hast me brought	R
Who shouldst my mind to higher things prepare	V
	-
But yet in vain thou hast my ruin sought	R
In vain thou mad'st me to vain things aspire	W
In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire	X
For Virtue hath this better lesson taught	R
Within myself to seek my only hire	X
Desiring nought but how to kill Desire	X
