GOOD-FRIDAY, 1613, RIDING WESTWARD. by John Donne LET mans soul be a sphere, and then, in this, Th intelligence that moves, devotion is ; And as the other spheres, by being grown Subject to foreign motion, lose their own, And being by others hurried every day, Scarce in a year their natural form obey ; Pleasure or business, so, our souls admit For their first mover, and are whirld by it. Hence ist, that I am carried towards the west, This day, when my souls form bends to the East. There I should see a Sun by rising set, And by that setting endless day beget. But that Christ on His cross did rise and fall, Sin had eternally benighted all. Yet dare I almost be glad, I do not see That spectacle of too much weight for me. Who sees Gods face, that is self-life, must die ; What a death were it then to see God die ? It made His own lieutenant, Nature, shrink, It made His footstool crack, and the sun wink. Could I behold those hands, which span the poles And tune all spheres at once, pierced with those holes ? Could I behold that endless height, which is Zenith to us and our antipodes, Humbled below us ? or that blood, which is The seat of all our souls, if not of His, Made dirt of dust, or that flesh which was worn By God for His apparel, raggd and torn ? If on these things I durst not look, durst I On His distressed Mother cast mine eye, Who was Gods partner here, and furnishd thus Half of that sacrifice which ransomd us ? Though these things as I ride be from mine eye, Theyre present yet unto my memory, For that looks towards them ; and Thou lookst towards me, O Saviour, as Thou hangst upon the tree. I turn my back to thee but to receive Corrections till Thy mercies bid Thee leave. O think me worth Thine anger, punish me, Burn off my rust, and my deformity ; Restore Thine image, so much, by Thy grace, That Thou mayst know me, and Ill turn my face. Source: Donne, John.
