Goe Roseall Budds of Martyrdome,
In Paradise goe take your rome;
Where you may flourish, & not fear
That Herods Sword can cropp you there.
In Paradise goe take your rome;
Where you may flourish, & not fear
That Herods Sword can cropp you there.
Your little LORD that scapes to-day
All yours in richer Blood will pay:
First let Him grow, & fill his veins
Whose Blood must wash the whole Worlds staines.
All yours in richer Blood will pay:
First let Him grow, & fill his veins
Whose Blood must wash the whole Worlds staines.
