Awake, awake, thou heauy spright
Language:
English
Awake, awake, thou heauy spright,
That sleep'st the deadly sleepe of sinne,
Rise now and walke the waies of light ;
'Tis not too late yet to begin.
Seeke heauun earely, seeke it late :
True faith still findes an open gate.
Get vp, get vp, thou leaden man :
Thy tracks to endlesse ioy or paine,
Yeelds but the modell of a span ;
Yet burnes out the lifes lampe in vaine.
One minute bounds thy bane, or blisse,
Then watch and labour, while time is.
