Summary
My Child-hood is a Sphere
Wherin ten thousand hev'nly Joys appear:
Those Thoughts it doth include,
And those Affections, which review'd,
Again present to me
In better sort the Things that I did see.
Imaginations Reall are,
Unto my Mind again repair:
Which makes my Life a Circle of Delights;
A hidden Sphere of obvious Benefits:
An Earnest that the Actions of the Just
Shall still revive, and flourish in the Dust.
