Remember, if I claim too much of you, I claim it of my brother and my friend: Have patience with me till the hidden end, Bitter or sweet, in mercy shut from view. Pay me my due; though I to pay your due Am all too poor and past what will can mend: Thus of your bounty you must give and lend Still unrepaid by aught I look to do. Still unrepaid by aught of mine on earth: But overpaid, please God, when recompense Beyond the mystic Jordan and new birth Is dealt to virtue as to innocence; When Angels singing praises in their mirth Have borne you in their arms and fetched you hence.
