Bvt here this Pilgrime staid,
(alas with much distresse)
He found himselfe too weakly made
such Rarenesse to expresse.
Therefore with humble Eyes,
of that faire Citie (new
Hierusalem) he prostrate lies
in Contemplation true.
And with him MERCY rests
and gently doth commend
Vnto your true compunctiue Brest,
this Pilgrime to defend.
And if you please t'apply
some Balme vnto his Paine,
The Wretch that groveling now doth lie
she saies may rise againe.
And on an Oaten Reed
vnto Heauens glorious King
For such a sanctimonious deed
his Thankfulnesse out-ring.
