Our first salutes, when we for blessings had
Exchang'd with him, being sat, we there unclad
All our deform'd misfortunes, and unless
A kingdoms loss disvellop'd our distress.
Which heard with pity, that he safely might
Be the directing Pharos by whose light
We might be safely guided from the rocks
Of the tempestuous world, his tongue unlocks
A cabinet of holy counsel, which
More then our vanish'd honor did enrich
Our souls (for whose eternal good was meant
This cordial) with the worlds best wealth, Content,
Content, which flies the busie throne, to dwell
With hungry Hermites in the noiseless cell.
Exchang'd with him, being sat, we there unclad
All our deform'd misfortunes, and unless
A kingdoms loss disvellop'd our distress.
Which heard with pity, that he safely might
Be the directing Pharos by whose light
We might be safely guided from the rocks
Of the tempestuous world, his tongue unlocks
A cabinet of holy counsel, which
More then our vanish'd honor did enrich
Our souls (for whose eternal good was meant
This cordial) with the worlds best wealth, Content,
82
With hungry Hermites in the noiseless cell.
