Upon the Fish in the Water

1


The water is the fish’s element;

Take her from thence, none can her death prevent;

And some have said, who have transgressors been,

As good not be, as to be kept from sin.


2


The water is the fish’s element:

Leave her but there, and she is well content.

So’s he, who in the path of life doth plod,

Take all, says he, let me but have my God.


3


The water is the fish’s element,

Her sportings there to her are excellent;

So is God’s service unto holy men,

They are not in their element till then.
