To God [Do with me, God, as Thou didst deal with John]

Title:     To God [Do with me, God, as Thou didst deal with John]
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Do with me, God, as Thou didst deal with John,
Who writ that heavenly Revelation.
Let me, like him, first cracks of thunder hear,
Then let the harps enchantments stroke mine ear:
Here give me thorns, there, in Thy kingdom, set
Upon my head the golden coronet;
There give me day; but here my dreadful night:
My sackcloth here; but there my stole of white.

_Stroke_, text _strike_.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: To God
