154.LR1.HE1  A Hymne to the Saints and /the Marquis Hamilton. [353]
154.LR1.001  Whether that soule w%5ch%6 now comes vp to you
154.LR1.002  fill any former rancke or make a new
154.LR1.003  whither it take a name nam'd there before
154.LR1.004  Or be a name it self, or order more
154.LR1.005  then was in heaven till %Ythey%Z now (for may not hee
154.LR1.006  bee so?) if every angell be %Ya kinde alone%Z
154.LR1.007  a kind alone.  What ever order grow
154.LR1.008  greater by him in heaven, wee do not soe
154.LR1.009  one of y%5r%6 orders growes by his accesse
154.LR1.010  but by his losse grow all o%5r%6 orders lesse
154.LR1.011  the name of father, master, frend the name
154.LR1.012  of subiect and of Prince in one are lame
154.LR1.013  fayre mirth is dampt, and conversation black
154.LR1.014  the houshold widdow'd, and the garter slacke
154.LR1.015  the chappel wants an eare, councell a toung
154.LR1.016  story a theame and musicke lackes a soung.
154.LR1.017  Blest order that hath him; the losse of him
154.LR1.018  gangren'd all orders here: all lost a lymme.
154.LR1.019  Never made body such hast to confesse
154.LR1.020  what a soule was: all former comelynesse
154.LR1.021  fled in a minute when thy soule was gone
154.LR1.022  and having lost that beauty would haue none.
154.LR1.023  so fell o%5r%6 monasteries in an instant growne
154.LR1.024  not to lesse houses but to heapes of stone
154.LR1.025  so sent his body that fayre forme in wore
154.LR1.026  vnto the spheare of formes: and doth before
154.LR1.027  his soule shall fill vpp his %Ysef%Z sepulchral stone
154.LR1.028  anticipate a resurrection.
154.LR1.029  for as in his fame now his soule is here [353v]
154.LR1.030  so in the forme thereof his body's there
154.LR1.031  And if fayre soule not w%5th%6 first innocence
154.LR1.032  thy station bee but w%5th%6 the Penitents
154.LR1.033  (and who shall dare to aske the%M whe%M I am
154.LR1.034  died scarlet in the bloud of that pure lamb
154.LR1.035  whether y%5t%6 couler w%5ch%6 is scarlett then
154.LR1.036  were black or white before the eyes of me%M)
154.LR1.037  when thou remenbrest what syns thou didst find
154.LR1.038  amongst those many frends thou lefts behind
154.LR1.039  and >seest such synners as they are with thee
154.LR1.040  got thither by repentance, let it bee
154.LR1.041  thy wish to wish all there, to wash them cleane
154.LR1.042  wish him a David, her a Magdalene.
