154.H06.HE1  A Hymne to the Saynts and /To the Marquesse Hamilton [92v]  
154.H06.001  Whether the soule that now comes vp to yo%5u%6
154.H06.002  ffill any former ranke, or make a new
154.H06.003  Whether it take a name namd there before
154.H06.004  Or bee a name it selfe, and Order more
154.H06.005  Then was in Heauen till now (for may not hee
154.H06.006  Bee so if every severall Angel bee
154.H06.007  A kind alone) What ever Order growe
154.H06.008  Greater by him in Heauen, wee do not so.
154.H06.009  One of your Orders growes by his Accesse
154.H06.010  But by his losse growe all our Orders lesse.
154.H06.011  The name of %52%6Master %51%6ffather, frind, the name
154.H06.012  Of Subiect and of prince in one is lame
154.H06.013  ffayre Mirth is dampd, and conversation black
154.H06.014  The Houshold widdowd, and the Garter slack
154.H06.015  The Chappell wants an Eare, Counsell a tongue
154.H06.016  Story a theame, and Musick wants a song./
154.H06.017  Blest Order that hath him, the losse of him
154.H06.018  Gangreend all Orders heere, all loose a Lymb./
154.H06.019  never made Body such hast to confesse
154.H06.020  What a Soule was. All former comelynesse
154.H06.021  ffledd in a minute when the Soule was gon
154.H06.022  And hauing lost that beauty would haue none
154.H06.023  So fell our monasteryes in an instant growne
154.H06.024  Not to lesse houses, but to heapes of stone;
154.H06.025  So sent his body that fayre forme it wore
154.H06.026  Vnto the Spheare of formes, and doth (before
154.H06.027  His body fill vp his Sepulchrall stone)
154.H06.028  Anticipate a Resurrection.
154.H06.029  ffor as, in his fame, now, his soule is heere
154.H06.030  So in the forme thereof his bodye's there.
154.H06.031  And if (fayre Soule) not with first Innocents
154.H06.032  Thy Station bee, but with the Penitents [CW:(And]
154.H06.033  (And who shall dare to aske then when I am [83]
154.H06.034  Dy'd Scarlet in the bloud of that pure Lamb
154.H06.035  Whether that colour w%5ch%6. is Scarlet then
154.H06.036  Were black or white before in th'eyes of men)
154.H06.037  When thou remembrest what sinns thou didst find
154.H06.038  Amongst those many frinds now left behind
154.H06.039  And seest such Sinners as they are, with thee,
154.H06.040  (Got thither thy>by repentance.) Let it bee
154.H06.041  Thy wish to wish all there, to wish them cleane
154.H06.042  Wish Him a Dauid, Her a Magdalene.
