And is intomb'd in my sad memory;
Where every day I to thy Shrine doe goe,
And offer tears, which from my eyes doe flow.
My heart the fire, whose flames are ever pure,
Laid on Loves Altar last, till life endure.
My sorrows incense strew, of sighs fetched deep,
My thoughts do watch while they sweet spirit sleeps.
Dear blessed soul, though thou art gone, yet lives
Thy fame on earth, and men thee praises give.
But all's too smal, for thy Heroick minde
Was above all the praises of Man-kinde. ",2007-04-26,9323,"","""Deare Brother, thy Idea in my mind doth lye, / And is intomb'd in my sad memory.""","",2012-04-26 20:48:35 UTC,I've included the entire poem
3599,"",Reading,2006-12-15 00:00:00 UTC,"When we have pious thoughts, and think of Heaven,
Yet go about, nor ask to be forgiven,
Perchance they're preaching, or a chapter saying,
Or on their knees they are devoutly praying;
When we are sad, and know no reason why,
Perchance it is, because some there do die;
And some place may in th' head be hung with black,
Which makes us dull, yet know not what we lack.
Our fancies which in verse or prose we put,
May pictures be, which they do draw or cut;
And when these fancies and thin do show,
They may be graven in seal, for ought we know;
When we have cross opinions in the mind,
Then we may them in Schools disputing find;
When we of childish toys do think, a fair
May be in th' brain, where crowds of fairies are,
And in each stall may all such knacks be sold,
As rattles, bells, or bracelets made of gold;
Pins, whistles, and the like may be brought there,
And thus within the head may be a fair:
And when our brain with amorous thoughts is stayed,
Perhaps there is a bride and bridegroom made;
And when our thoughts all merry be and gay,
There may be dancing on their wedding day.",,9330,"","""And some place may in th' head be hung with black, / Which makes us dull, yet know not what we lack.""","",2009-09-14 19:34:08 UTC,I've included the entire poem

The eyes and the ears are the inlets or doors of the soul, through which innumerable objects enter; yet is not that spacious room filled, neither doth it ever say it is enough, but like the daughters of the horseleach, cries, ""Give, give""; and which is most strange, the more it receives, the more empty it finds itself and sees and impossibility ever to be filled but by Him in whom all fullness dwells.",,9338,•REVISIT and fill out publication information.,"""The eyes and the ears are the inlets or doors of the soul, through which innumerable objects enter.""",Rooms,2013-06-11 16:23:07 UTC,""

All men are truly said to be tenants at will, and it may as truly be said that all have a lease of their lives, some longer, some shorter, as it pleases our great Landlord to let. All have their bounds set, over which they cannot pass, and till the expiration of that time, no dagners, no sickness, no pains, nor troubles shall put a period to our days. The certainty that that time will come, together with the uncertainty, how, where, and when, should make us so to number our days to apply our hearts to wisdom, that when we are put out of these houses of clay we may be sure of an everlasting habitation that fades not away.",2007-04-20,9339,"•Cross-reference: Mary Leapor and Bible. Much of this meditation is interacts with Bradstreet's poem ""Verses upon the Burning of our House""
