When Haizy Clouds Obscure The Night

When Haizy clouds obscure the night
No more the starrs afford us light
When ruffling winds arise at sea
tho smooth as glass & clear as day
the mudd workes up the ocean frys
& thickend waters stopp the eyes,
The brook which from the mountain flows
oft runs astray if rocks oppose
then woud you with the piercing sight
of reason see the truth aright
still woud you tread in virtues way
remove the hindrance & you may
Banish Joy & banish love
Banish hope & banish fear
the mind has clouds we run astray
& reason's captive when they sway
