[If such passing Beautie, choise Delights]
If such passing Beautie, choise Delights,The Architect of this great Round did frame
This Pallace visible, which World we name?
(Yet sillie Mansion but of mortall Wights)
How many Wonders? what amazing Lights,
Must that triumphing Seate of Glorie claime?
Which doth transcend all this great Alls high Hights,
Of Whose bright Sunne ours heere is but a Beame?
O blest Abode! ô happie dwelling Place!
Where visiblie th' Inuisible doth raigne,
Blest People, who doe see true Beauties Face,
With whose darke Shadowes Hee but Earth doth daigne,
All Ioy is but Annoy, all Concord Strife,
Match'd with your endlesse Blisse, and happie Life.
