ARGUMENT.
O, DEUS, aut nullo caleat mihi Pectus ab Igne!
Aut solo caleat Pectus ab Igne Tui!
Languet ut Illa Deo, mihi Mens simul æmula languet!
Cœlitùs ut rapitur, me Violenta rapit!
Aut solo caleat Pectus ab Igne Tui!
Languet ut Illa Deo, mihi Mens simul æmula languet!
Cœlitùs ut rapitur, me Violenta rapit!
She Onset makes, first with Love-darts aloof;
Then, with Zeals Fire-works, storms Heav'ns Roof;
Whose Faiths Shield, & Salvations Helmet are Hell-proof.
Then, with Zeals Fire-works, storms Heav'ns Roof;
Whose Faiths Shield, & Salvations Helmet are Hell-proof.
