Psalm. CXXXIII.
The Argument.
A short extrete: of loue the strength,So large in length: in tast so sweete:
O charity: thou art I wisse,
Of Man the blisse: in ech degree:
O charity: wyth vnity.
14. Canticum graduum
1
O come and see: how things most meeteIt is, and sweete: where men agree:
Whan brethren bound: together dwell
In peace to dwell: In loue be founde,
O vnity: keepe charitye.
2
It is as sweete: as Balme the best,On head well drest, which downe did fleete,
By berd and throte: the berd I say,
Of Aaron gay: his skirt of cote.
O charity: seeke vnitye.
3
It is as sweete: as dewe that wont,Fat Hermon mount: to make so weete
As dew no dout: that heauenlye stils,
On Sion hils: euen round about.
O vnity: beare charity.
4
For there euen there: the Lord hath chargd,Where peace enlargde: most rule doth bere:
All blisfull lyfe: for aye to be,
Where men agree: and voyd all strife.
O charity stirre vnity.
