Metaphor in Context
But the third shall be left therein.

--xiii. 8.

  Need I then, my God, despair
    Thy favour to retain?
  Lost if two in three there are,
    The third shall still remain:
  Of the third distinguish'd part
That I may live for ever one,
  Stamp Thine image on my heart,
    And join me to Thy Son.
