HYMNE XX. Of the Passions of her Heart.
Examine not th'inscrutable heart,
Light Muse of her, though she in part
Impart it to the subiect;
Search not, although from Heau'n thou art,
And this an heauenly obiect.
Light Muse of her, though she in part
Impart it to the subiect;
Search not, although from Heau'n thou art,
And this an heauenly obiect.
But since she hath a heart, we know,
Euer some passions thence doe flow,
Though ever rul'd with Honor;
Her judgment raignes, they waite below,
And fixe their eyes vpon her.
Euer some passions thence doe flow,
Though ever rul'd with Honor;
Her judgment raignes, they waite below,
And fixe their eyes vpon her.
Rectified so, they in their kind
Encrease each vertue of her mind,
Gouern'd with mild tranquilitie;
In all the regions vnder heau'n,
No State doth beare it selfe so euen,
And with so sweet facilitie.
Encrease each vertue of her mind,
Gouern'd with mild tranquilitie;
In all the regions vnder heau'n,
No State doth beare it selfe so euen,
And with so sweet facilitie.
