Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury - To Her Mind lyrics

Exalted Mind! whose Character doth bear The first Idea of Perfection, whence Adam's came, and stands so, how canst appear In words? that only tell what here- Tofore hath been; thou need'st as deep a sense As prophecy, since there's no difference In telling what thou art, and what shall be: Then pardon me that Rapture do profess, At thy outside, that want, for what I see, Description, if here amaz'd I cesse Thus--- Yet grant one Question, and no more, crav'd under Thy gracious leave, How, if thou would'st express Thyself to us, thou should'st be still a wonder?
