Anne Bradstreet - For the restoration of my dear Husband from a burning Ague, June, 1661.

When feares and sorrowes me besett, br Then did'st thou rid me out; br When heart did faint and spirits quail, br Thou comforts me about. br Thou rais'st him vp I feard to loose, br Regau'st me him again: br Distempers thou didst chase away; br With strenght didst him sustain. br My thankfull heart, with Pen record br The Goodnes of thy God; br Let thy obedience testefye br He taught thee by his rod. br And with his staffe did thee support, br That thou by both may'st learn; br And 'twixt the good and evill way, br At last, thou mig'st discern. br Praises to him who hath not left br My Soul as destitute; br Nor turnd his ear away from me, br But graunted hath my Suit.
