English text
Lo, when back mine eye
Pilgrim-like I cast,
What fearful ways I spie
Which, blinded, I securely passed!
But now heaven hath drawn
From my brows that night;
As when the day doth dawn,
So clears my long-imprisoned sight.
Straight the Caves of Hell
Dressed with flowers I see,
Wherein False Pleasures dwell,
That, winning most, most deadly be.
