5.  Let folly praise that fancy loves, I praise
and love that Child
Whose heart no thought, whose tongue
no word, whose hand no deed defiled.
I praise Him most, I love Him best, all
praise and love is His;
While Him I love, in Him I live, and
cannot live amiss.
Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest
theme, man's most desired light,
To love Him life, to leave Him death, to
live in Him delight.
He mine by gift, I His by debt, thus each
to other due;
First friend He was, best friend He is, all
times will try Him true.
 Though young, yet wise; though small,
yet strong; though man, yet God He is:
As wise, He knows; as strong, He can;
as God, He loves to bless.
His knowledge rules, His strength
defends, His love doth cherish all;
His birth our joy, His life our light, His
death our end of thrall.
Alas! He weeps, He sighs, He pants, yet
do His angels sing;
Out of His tears, His sighs and throbs,
doth bud a joyful spring.
Almighty Babe, whose tender arms can
force all foes to fly,
Correct my faults, protect my life,
direct me when I die!

10. A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not
right in the head,
A girl mad as birds
Bolting the night of the door with her
arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house
with entering clouds
Yet she deludes with walking the
nightmarish room,
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the
male wards.
She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light
through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies
She sleeps in the narrow trough yet
she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin
by my walking tears.
And taken by light in her arms at long
and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to
the stars.
