54

Irst take care thy self to rouse

From Sin's Sleep enchanting;

Torments great such heavy Brows

Will not long be wanting.

Least mishaps

And Death traps

Seize thee time mispending,

Unawares Offending.

Wake for Jesus otherwise

Cannot thee Enlighten.

Rouse thee e're the true Light flies

Which thy Lamp should brighten.

Grant he will

Graces still;

But bids us that have them

Look to him that gave them.

Watchful be left Satan's Craft

Should surprise thee sleeping.

Since his Darts more swift than shaft

Fly the Winds out stripping.

God let's all

Such Saints fall,

Into woes and weeping,

Who are guardless sleeping.

Lest the World should thee constrain,

Watch with fear and trembling;

Lest she to herself regain

Thee by her dissembling.

Strict Watch set;

And ne'er let

Treach'rous Conversation

Int' Association.
