See! what an undisturbed teareShe weepes for her last sleepe;
But viewing her straight wak'd a Star,
She weepes that she did weepe.

Griefe ne're before did TyranizeOn th'Honour of that brow,
And at the wheeles of her brave Eyes
Was Captive led til now.

III
Thus for a Saints ApostacyThe unimagin'd Woes,
And sorrowes of the Hierarchy,
None but an Angel knowes.
IV
Thus for lost soules Recovery,The Clapping of all Wings,
And Triumphs of this Victory,
None but an Angel sings.
V
So none but She know's to bemoneThis equal Virgins Fate,
None but Lucasta can her Crowne
Of Glory celebrate.
VI
Then dart on me (Chast Light) one rayBy which I may disery
Thy Joy cleare through this cloudy Day
To dresse my sorrow by.
