Aurelivs Livia Druslla

to due to reframe
to speak the latter first
than which is spoken
sung and rehearsed
than which of most
to be discovered
the God of many
is the God of others

 Those worlds of the selfish
to then be uncovered
who's works makesth thee
sweat and perspire
toils of the worker
like songs of a choir

There is a balm in Gilead
the perfume for many
speak to the merchant
to find the remedy

nearest to Naples
the Vesuvius Mount
areas of eruptions
severe the mount
yet in peace time
upon Caesar's trill
songs sung to Jesus
he loves me still

There is a Balm in Gilead
who's aroma is such
the medicine to cure
the value so much
