rims path, the blind manThe dead mans life : on thee my hopes rely ;If thou remove, I err, I grope, die. Disclose thy sun-beams, close thy wings and stay ; See, see how I am blind and dead, and stray,O thou that art my Light, my life, my way. S. August. Soliloq. Cap. i. Why dost thou hide thy face : happily thou wilt say,None can see thy face and live : Ah, LORD, let me die, thatI may see thee ; let me see thee, that I may die : I wouldnot live, but die ; that I may see Christ, I desire death ; thatI may live with Christ, I despise life. Anselm. Med. Cap. v. O excellent hiding, which is become my perfection !My God, thou hidest thy treasure, to kindle my desire ! thouhidest thy pearl, to inflame the seeker ; thou delayest to give,that thou mayest teach me to importune ; seemest not tohear, to make me persevere. Epig. 7.If Heavns all-quickning eyes vouchsafe to shineUpon our souls, we slight; if not, we whine :Our equinoctial hearts can never lieSecure, beneath the tropics of that eye.
