Stillborn silence! thou that art
Flood-gate of the deeper heart!
Offspring of a heavenly kind,
Frost of the mouth, and thaw of the mind.
Secrecy's confidant, and he
Who makes religion mystery!
Admiration's speaking'st tongue!
Leave thy desert shades among
Reverend hermits' hallowed cells,
Where retired devotion dwells!
With thy enthusiasms come,
Seize our tongues and strike us dumb!
– Richard Flecknoe (1653)
