Sonnet 10

Come hither, and distance not thy stranger
Behold death upon his white horse leaping
Sir or mam will thou save me from danger
See thy which, a blind man or child weeping
      Eating weeds and dirt for comfort resting
      Drinking rain and bathing in its showers
      Am I not a neutered gory nestling
      In a flock of fairy friendly flowers
Grow thy heart and blessed be thy future
Deny not blessings angels do not offer
Or should thy accept a life of torture
Who knows what serpents I have to proffer

Help the angel who fell out of heaven?
Or the blind man who murdered eleven
