 | Piety, and Poesy |  |
On Mary Magdalen's coming to the Tomb of our Saviour.
Whilest the sad night was dark, and silent, thenTo th' Sepulcher comes Mary Magdalen,
She fears no idle Fancies of the Night,
Faith in the deepest Darkness, shines most bright,
The Temples rending, nor the Prodigies,
That came to grace the Worlds great Sacrifice,
Frighted not her, but all alone, to th' Tomb
Of her dead Lord is poor Maria come,
No Apparition could her terror be
An Apparition, 'twas she came to see.
