Bow both your heads at once, and hearts

Bow both your heads at once, and hearts;
Obedience doth not well in parts.
It is but standing in his eye,
You'll feel yourselves changed by and by.
Few live that know how quick a spring
Works in the presence of a king:
'Tis done by this; your slough let fall,
And come forth new-born creatures all.
(from The Irish Masque)
