"O may the lustre of those rayes divine / Be alwaies sparkling in this heart of mine!"

2.

The Alc'ran sayes, (which who will may beleeve)
The Moon descended into Mahomet's sleeve:
'Tis strange! yet God doth his loves lamp impart
T'a more coarcted room, what's that? the heart.
O may the lustre of those rayes divine
Be alwaies sparkling in this heart of mine!
That I, inlightned by thy light may see,
Great God! more clearly to discover thee.
