The Recommendation

These houres, and that which hovers o’re my End,  Into thy hands, and hart, lord,

I commend.    Take Both to Thine Account, that I and mine  In that Hour, and in these, may be all thine.    That as I dedicate my devoutest Breath          To make a kind of Life for my lord’s Death,    So from his living, and life-giving Death,  My dying Life may draw a new, and never fleeting Breath.
