IESVS CELEBRATES THE HEAVENLY Nuptials in the hart.

The Hymne.

The nuptial supper, now I see,
O happy soule! prepar'd for thee;
The table's couerd: but what seat,
Hast thou for thy repose? What meat?
Except a Lamb, I nothing find,
The amourous Spouse is now so kind,
That what he fed thee with before;
From th' eye shalbe conceal'd no more.
As with a fleece, in species white,
He long on earth appear'd in sight.
As with a fleece, by grace gaue heat:
But now behold the Lamb thy meat.
In him repose, freed from annoy
By seeing, comprehend, enioy.
