Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
97. Peter, at the transfiguration.
What fulgour's this! what harmelesse lightning's here!Hath Phæbus vaulted from his radiant spheare
To gaze here on my Lord? or onely spread
His rich flame-coloured mantle on the head
Of happy Tabor? Hence dull shadowy toyes
Of mirth; give me these pure illustrious joyes,
To shine with Moses and Elias still,
And keepe a high-day on this Heavenly hill.
