Yet not mine neither: for from thee they came,
And must return. Accept of them and me,
And make us strive, who shall sing best thy name.
Turn their eyes hither, who shall make a gain:
Theirs, who shall hurt themselves or me, refrain.  | |

[Introduction] George Herbert is either our most major poet in English literature or he is the most modestly exquisite of our major poets. [A Note on the Texts] This text of "The Temple" is a modernized spelling version of the first edition of 1633 (hereafter referred to as 1633). [A Note on Metre] The reader will see and hear in the midst of an astonishing variety of stanzaic forms, some unusual in the history of English verse, and inventive shifts in form within a single poem, Herbert's rhythm with in a line is exact and regular. [The Printers to the Reader] The dedication of this work having been made by the author to the Divine Majesty only, how should we now presume to interest any mortal man in the patronage of it? Thou, whose sweet youth and early hopes enhance
Thy rate and price, and mark thee as a treasure;
Harken unto a Verser, who may chance
Rhyme thee to good, and make a bait of pleasure. [Izzak Walton's "The Life of Mr George Herbert] In a late retreat from the business of this world with which I have too often cumbered myself, I fell into a contemplation of some of the historical passages that are recorded in Sacred Story; and, more particularly, of what had passed betwixt our Blessed Saviour and that wonder of women, and sinners, and mourners, Saint Mary Magdalene. | |

[A Note on Metre] Some instances may allow for debate, as one person's seventeenth-century shift in stress in another person's trochee, but Herbert's careful keeping of accent point to each need for added emphasis in metres that are the simple frames within which the poet's voice provides a rich and complicated variety of emphases in sense.
