SONNET.

My Muse Vrania straine thy sacred voice
And lovingly in Faith and Zeale goe sing,
Shrill hymnes to Iovah: let thy Soule reioice
In blest Encomiums of that glorious King,
With Helleluiahs make the Heavens to ring,
By Faith, through clouds thy praier so convoy,
That hee who framde both thee and every thing,
Bee pleasd to shield thy Soule from sinnes anuoy,
Shall thou not haue great matter then of ioy,
When thy Redeemer pardons all thy faults?
And thus in peace sayes to thee, come my boy,
I will defend thee from the Devills assaults,
Sathan in thee no portion sure shall haue,
For why, my blood from Hell thy Soule did saue.
