A garden of graue and godlie flowers | ||
[Whose pleasure is into his Paradise]
Whose pleasure is into his Paradise,And Adam like his Eden hath advisd,
Relent thy course by Gardens graue advise,
Whose Muse divine this sweetest Subject chusd,
Inspir'd hereby, he hes profoundly infusd,
Rare Recipies thy Soule for to renew,
Read with remorse, and rightlie if thou vse,
Thou shall rejoce, that in our Ground there grew
A Garden whence springs Cedars to subdew:
Soule-killing soars resulting from thy sin,
Then wandring worldling, hold this in thy view,
Lest if thou stray, thou enter not therein
This Gardens-flowrs: had Alexander seene,
His heart had not halfe so ambitious beene.
Alex. Ste.
