XXVI.

_Bonum intrare in coelos cum uno oculo, &c._ Matt. xviii. 9.

Uno oculo? ah centum potius mihi, millia centum:

Nam quis ibi, in coelo, quis satis Argus erit?

Aut si oculus mihi tantum unus conceditur, unus

Iste oculus fiam totus et omnis ego.

_It is better to go into heaven with one eye, &c._

One eye? a thousand rather, and a thousand more,

To fix those full-fac't glories. O, he's poore

Of eyes that has but Argus' store!

Yet, if thou'lt fill one poore eye with Thy Heaven and Thee,

O grant, sweet Goodnesse, that one eye may be

All and every whit of me. CR.
