To the Creator.
Divine Creator, bear in minde,That thou, of our Corporeal kinde
The form didst take, when heretofore
'Twas thee a Sacred Virgin bore,
Bless'd Mary, pre-ordain'd to be
Mother of Grace and Clemencie:
Defend us from our mortal foe,
Receive us when from hence we go.
Jesus, all glory to thy Name,
Born of a Virgin; and the same
To th'Holy Ghost, and Father be,
Through Ages to Eternitie.
