IESVS BRINGS IN THE CROSSE INTO the hart, and easily imprints it in the louer.

THE HYMNE.

Hast thou no Harbinger to bring
Thy furniture, so great a King,
But must thy self in person come
To order al, and hang this roome?
My hart alas! it hardly brooks,
To be transfixt with tenter hooks;
For nayles and hammer, now I see,
And ladder, al prepar'd for me.
Ah! without sheets I see thy bed;
Thy Crosse, no bolster for thy head
Except it be a crowne of thorne,
Thy canopy is Heauen forlorne.
Al things lament thy paynes to see,
IESV come in, I'l mourne with thee.
