On the Q. M.

Religion in a twilight-skie,
Of wandering dark Apostacy,
The Universe survey'd; to find
Devotion in a sincere mind.
And with a serious look did spy,
Our Queen's unspotted Majesty:
Whose Orb of Vertue up did rear,
Above a Vicious Hymisphere.
And coming near unto her Face,
To add a gale unto her Grace;
She from the World (secure in Sin)
Rose up, and took Religion in.
Where (like a Lamp, in flaming Zeal)
It burns without a parallel.
For if a blemish Faith admit,
A Pious Life can cover it.
37

Could Bodies but: as Souls be priz'd,
And mater be spiratualiz'd,
I should determine her to be
Angelical, in Pedegree.
She is so pure, that sure she must
Be Transubstantiate, out of Dust.
She's free'd from, Passion, Hate, and Spite:
For Innocence, an Adamite:
Then learned Reader, tell (I pray)
If Angels can be made of Clay.
