151.DT1.0HE  %1Elegie vpon y%5e%6 death of M%5rs%6. Boulstred./%2
151.DT1.001  Language thou art too narrowe, and too weake [f. 42v]
151.DT1.002  to ease vs nowe; great sorrowe cannot speake.
151.DT1.003  If wee could sigh out accents, and weepe words
151.DT1.004  Greife weares, & lessens, y%5t%6 teares breath affords
151.DT1.005  Sad hearts, the less they seeme, the more they are,
151.DT1.006  (soe guiltiest men stand mutest at the Barr)
151.DT1.007  Not that they knowe not, feele not their estate
151.DT1.008  but extreame sence hath made them desperate.
151.DT1.009  Sorrowe, to whom wee owe all that wee bee
151.DT1.010  Tyrant, in the fifte, & greatest Monarchy,
151.DT1.011  Was't that shee did possess all hearts before
151.DT1.012  thou hast kill'd her, to make thy Empire more?
151.DT1.013  Knew'st thou some would that knewe her not lament?
151.DT1.014  as in a deluge perish th'Innocent?
151.DT1.015  Was't not enough to haue y%5t%6 pallace wonne
151.DT1.016  but thou must raze it too, that was vndone?
151.DT1.017  Had'st thou stay'd there, and look'd out at her eyes,
151.DT1.018  all had ador'd thee y%5t%6 nowe from thee flyes.
151.DT1.019  %YShe%Z for they lett out more light, then they tooke in, [cw:they]
151.DT1.020  they told not when, but did the day begin. [f. 43]
151.DT1.021  Shee was to Saphirine, and cleare for thee;
151.DT1.022  claye, fflint, and Ieat, nowe thy fitt dwellings bee
151.DT1.023  Alass, shee was too pure, but not too weake;
151.DT1.024  who ere sawe Chrystall Ordinance, but would breake?
151.DT1.025  And if wee bee thy Conquest by her fall
151.DT1.026  th'hast lost thy end, for in her perish all,
151.DT1.027  Or if wee liue, wee liue but to rebell;
151.DT1.028  they knowe her better nowe, y%5t%6 knewe her well.
151.DT1.029  If wee should vapour out, and pine, and dye
151.DT1.030  since the first went, that were not miserie.
151.DT1.031  Shee chaung'd our world w%5th%6 hers; nowe shee is gone
151.DT1.032  Mirth, and prosperitie is oppression.
151.DT1.033  ffor of all Morrall virtues shee was all,
151.DT1.034  The Ethicks speake of Virtues Cardinall.
151.DT1.035  Her soule was Paradise; the Cherubin
151.DT1.036  set to keepe it was grace, that kept out sinn.
151.DT1.037  Shee had noe more then let in death, for wee
151.DT1.038  all reape consumption from one fruitfull tree.
151.DT1.039  God tooke her hence, least some of vs should loue
151.DT1.040  her, like y%5t%6 plant, him, and his Lawes aboue.
151.DT1.041  And when wee teares, hee mercy shed in this
151.DT1.042  to raise our minds to heau'en, where nowe shee is.
151.DT1.043  Who, if her Virtues would haue let her staye
151.DT1.044  wee'had had a Saint, nowe a Holi-daye.
151.DT1.045  Her heart was y%5t%6 strange Bush, where sacred fire
151.DT1.046  Religion, did ^not consume, but inspire.
151.DT1.047  Such Pietie, soe chast vse of Gods daye
151.DT1.048  that what wee turne to feasts, shee turn'd to praye.
151.DT1.049  And did prefigure here in devout tast
151.DT1.050  the rest of her high Sabaoth, w%5ch%6 shall last.
151.DT1.051  Angells did hand her vp, whoe next God dwell
151.DT1.052  (for shee was of that order whence most fell)
151.DT1.053  Her body lefte w%5th%6 vs, least some had sed [cw:shee]
151.DT1.054  shee could not dye, except they sawe her dead. [f. 43v]
151.DT1.055  ffor from less virtue, & less beauteousness
151.DT1.056  the Gentiles fram'd them Gods and Goddesses.
151.DT1.057  The rauenous earth, y%5t%6 nowe wooes her to bee
151.DT1.058  earth too, will bee Lemnia, and the tree
151.DT1.059  That wrapps y%5t%6 chrystall in a woodden tombe
151.DT1.060  shall bee tooke vp spruce, fill'd with Diamon
151.DT1.061  And wee, her sad glad friends all beare a part
151.DT1.062  of griefe; for all would wast a Stoicks heart./
