Doth God exact day-labor, light denied,'I fondly ask; but patience to preventThat murmur, soon replies, 'God doth not needEither man's work or his own gifts, who bestBear His mild yoke, they serve Him best, his stateIs kingly. Thousands at His bidding speedAnd post o'er land and ocean without rest:They also serve who only stand and wait.'~Sonnet 19: On His Blindness (1655)~
