4. A Dialogue, betweene Gabriel and Mary .
Gabriel.Haile blessed Mary:
Ma.
What celestial tongue
Cals sinfull Mary blessed?
Gab:
It is I:
165
Who art thou?
Ga:
I am Gabriel that belong
To the high Quire of Heaven:
Ma:
I faint, I dye:
Ga:
Feare not sweet Virgin; all the Earth shall be
Made debters to thy Womb, and blest in Thee.
Ma:
How Lord?
Ga:
Thy Virgin-womb shal beare a Son
That shal redeem the world.
Ma:
My Lord, how can
Such wonders come to passe; such things be done
By a poore Virgin, never knowne by Man?
Ga:
The holy Ghost, at his appointed howre,
Shall make thee pregnant by his sacred powre:
Ma:
Wonder of wonders!
Ga:
At whose height the Quire
Of heav'n stand ravisht, tremble, & admire.
Ma:
O may it be according to thy Word:
Ga:
Before that twice five Moons compleated be
Thou shalt be knowne the Mother of our Lord,
And thou shalt dance thy Saviour on thy knee.
Ma:
Both heav'n & earth shal triumph, & the frame
Of hell shall tremble at Maria's name:
Ga:
All Ages past, and present, and to come,
Shall joy in Mary, and in Marye's Wombe.
