Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
224. Heavenly endowments.
We should the Robe of glory (as it were)Spinne out of Christ by faith, embroyder't here
With workes of Piety, perfume it too
With Incense of our Prayers; else we doe
But feast on dainty dreames, and Heaven-ward reare
A scale of phansies, that no weight will beare.
