The Posie

  Let wits contest,
And with their words and posies windows fill:
  Lesse than the least
Of all thy mercies, is my posie still.

  This on my ring,
This by my picture, in my book I write;
  Whether I sing,
Or say, or dictate, this is my delight.

  Invention rest;
Comparisons go play; wit use thy will:
  Lesse than the least
Of all God's mercies, is my posie still.
