The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations/Superliminare

by George Herbert

 

Superliminare.

THou, whom the former precepts have
Sprinkled and taught, how to behave
Thy self in church; approach, and taste
The churches mysticall repast.

---

AVoid profanenesse; come not here:
Nothing but holy, pure, and cleare,
Or that which groneth to be so,
May at his perill further go.
