 | Devovt Rhapsodies |  |
To my much honoured and Candid Friend, Mr. Abbot. alias Rivers,
upon his Devout Rhapsodies.
VVas thy Quill made oth' towring Eagles wing,Who soaring in the bosome of his King,
Saw what was done in Heaven? straight thence descends,
And sings our Churches lot, and state of Fiends.
Thy Poeme speakes all these, which I reade ore,
With wonder and delight, but which was more,
I know not of these two, and dare proclaime,
Who understand it, will commend the same.
Nor doe I envy it, because 'tis thine,
Yet were vowes potent; I could wish it mine.
George Cox.
