Their brain sweet incense with fine breath accloys,

That on God's sweating altar burning lies;

Their hungry ears feed on the heavenly noise

That angels sing, to tell their untold joys;

Their understanding naked truth, their wills

The all, and self-sufficient goodness fills,

That nothing here is wanting, but the want of ills.
