Not otherwise than thou hast fixed
wish my years events.
OF pain and pleasure intermixed
In varied elements.
No shade the less or sheen the more
Upon the canopy,
Depending with its wide sky DER

Each good forbade, thou hast withheld
In wisdoms clear, far sight,
No bud of hope that ever swelled
Was crushed but by thy might
What seemeth best to power divine
That sure is best for me;
And would mould my will to thine,
Since prescience is to thee.
