 | Flamma sine Fumo |  |
Vpon the same most excellent Lady, the Lady Goditha Prise.
Have you observ'd a garden fair, and sweetWhere whelsome herbs, and pleasant flowers do mee
So doth her mind no imperfection know,
Where graces do like grapes in clusters grow:
If you with serious eyes desire to see
The model of most perfect charity.
Or if in earnest you desire to find
Religion eated in a humble mind.
Or would you know, where holy patience dwells,
When grace, and truth all discontent expels;
Then her behold who lives, as if with John
She had Christ's sacred bosome lean'd upon.
In tears, and prayers she doth sin bemone
And each day neerer steps to heavens throne.
