ARGUMENT.
Lætior una Dies, JESU, tua Sacra Canenti;
Quàm sine Te, melicis Secula mille Lyris.
Ut paveam Scelus omne, petam super Omnia Coelum;
Da mihi Fræna Timor, Da mihi Calcar Amor!
Quàm sine Te, melicis Secula mille Lyris.
Ut paveam Scelus omne, petam super Omnia Coelum;
Da mihi Fræna Timor, Da mihi Calcar Amor!
The Authors Rapture; Grace is prais'd; a Flood
Of Tears is pour'd for Albions Blood,
Shed in a Mist; for smot Micaiahs Peace is woo'd.
Of Tears is pour'd for Albions Blood,
Shed in a Mist; for smot Micaiahs Peace is woo'd.
