(Of Something Made By The Giver) br br Child, your effectual hands create too much. br The things they fashion having, thenceforth, less br The type of matter than the preciousness br Of you, how can I serve myself of such? br The kindred in my being doth avouch br Your essence; in the very press and stress br Of action I am foiled to a caress. br Ah! give me something you but meant to touch! br Something your love has ripen'd till I'm 'ware br Of thoughts that came in light and stay'd in sweet, br Or th' apostolic shadow of your care, br Passing by, hath healed of malady, br Or wholed in use and grace: gifts rare and meet, br But not too rarely yours to be for me br Still meet, nor meetly mine to be still yours and rare.
