195. A Crowne for constancy.
In Aarons vesture, sumptuous to behold,Betwixt small sounding bels of shining gold
Pomegranates stood, which native Crownes doe beare;
And in the utmost skirts these placed were:
To shew, that good workes (which pure bells expresse)
Shall in Heavens Court be Crown'd with happinesse,
When in a course of constancy they have
Reacht the Lands-end of life, the finall grave.
