On the holy Ghost descending like a Dove.

When John (unwilling 'cause unworthy) lead
Christ into Jordan, ore his glorious head
Hovers a Dove, whose bright wings would not cease
Till they were spread over the Prince of peace;
Well may our Turtles grieve their sad estates,
When Doves from Heaven come to seek their Mates.
