Gloria Cœli. 4.
Earth stands immov'd, and fixt; her situationAdmits no locall change, no alteration,
Heaven alway moves, renewing still his place,
And ever sees us with another Face;
Earth standeth fixt, yet there I live opprest;
Heaven alway mooves, yet there is all my rest:
Enlarge thy selfe, my Soule, with meditation,
Mount there, and there bespeake thy habitation;
Where joies are full, & pure, not mixt with mourning
All endlesse, and from which is no returning:
No theft, no cruell murther harbours there,
No hoary-headed-Care, no sudden Feare,
No pinching want, no (griping-fast) oppression,
Nor Death the stipend of our first transgression:
But dearest Friendship, Love, and lasting Pleasure,
Still there abides, without or stint, or measure;
81
Excesse without a surfetting; And Life Eternall.
