Abraham Cowley Quotes

Lo, this great work, a Temple to thy praise,On polisht Pillars of strong Verse I raise!A Temple, where if Thou vouchsafe to dwell,It Solomons, and Herods shall excel.Too long the Muses-Land have Heathen bin;Their Gods too long were Dev'ils, and Vertues Sin;But Thou, Eternal Word, hast call'd forth MeTh' Apostle, to convert that World to Thee;
