THE LITANY: 13. THE DOCTORS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thy sacred academie above
Last Line: Meane waies, and call them stars, but not the sunne.


Thy sacred Academie above
Of Doctors, whose paines have unclasp'd, and taught
Both bookes of life to us (for love
To know thy Scriptures tells us, we are wrote
In thy other booke) pray for us there
That what they have misdone
Or mis-said, wee to that may not adhere;
Their zeale may be our sinne. Lord let us runne
Meane waies, and call them stars, but not the Sunne.
