He always wants men to be by his side and to be with him. But then, he did not give rest to man because he wants their loyalty and their affirmation of Him when he said “Let him be rich and weary, that at least, if goodness lead him not, yet weariness may toss him to my breast” In here, it is clear that the God referred to here is a jealous God. It appears that God has bestowed treasures on man because he loves men dearly. This line introduces the reader to the kind of God who is jealous and somehow conceited. He made man restless because according to God: “For if I should bestow this jewel on my creature, He would adore my gifts instead of me”. God gave several treasures to men, but one that is, Rest.
Anyhow, this is a style used to make the poem radical, in this respect. It appears as if the persona has encountered God himself.
