Quotation from The Collar by George Herbert
“But as I rav’d and grew more fierce and wilde At every word, Me thoughts I heard one calling, Childe: And I reply’d, My Lord.”
The Collar, Lines 33-36 (The Temple, 1633 spelling)
The closing quatrain, where a single word from the Lord ends the rebellion and the rhyme falls into order.
