Trinity, John Donne


IV.
The Trinity

O blessed glorious Trinity,
Bones to Philosophy, but milk to faith
Which, as wise serpents, diversely
Most slipperiness, yet most entanglings hath,
As you distinguished, undistinct,
By power, love, knowledge be,
Give me a such self different instinct,
Of these let all me elemented be,
Of power, to love, to know you unnumbered three
