Divine Fancies | ||
94. To Sir Ivlivs Cesar, Master of the Rolles.
The high Perfections, wherwith heav'n do's pleaseTo crowne our transitory dayes, are these;
Goods well possest, and not possessing thee:
A faithfull Friend; equall in love, degree:
Lands fruitfull, and not conscious of a Curse:
A boastlesse hand; a Charitable purse:
A smiling Conscience; A contented Mind;
A sober knowledge, with true Wisedome, joynd;
A Brest, well temper'd; Dyet, without Art,
Surfeit, or want; A wisely-simple Heart;
197
A Spirit not contentious rash, but daring:
A Body healthfull, sound, and fit for labour;
A House well order'd; and an equall Neighbour:
A prudent wife, and constant to the roofe;
Sober, but yet not sad, and faire enough;
Sleepe seasonable, moderate, and secure;
Actions heroicke, constant, blamelesse, pure;
A Life, as long as faire; and when expir'd,
A glorious Death, unfear'd, as undesir'd.
