Comiato

Song wherewith I first Begun,
My Great Redeemers Praise to sing;
And from a far more noble string,
(Than I was wont) an Hebrew Descant run,
For the great Harp of Jesses Son,
To be prepar'd, when Time should be:
Preserve that Times blest Memory,
And all that, by Thee' inspir'd, I since have done,
That if with Men no Grace I find,
With Heav'n I may, and Peace in my own Mind!
