IESVS PVRGETH THE HART WITH expiatory bloud.

The Hymne.

O hart lie open freely take,
These sprinckled drops enough to slake
The flames of lust and quench the fire,
Of bel it-self, O Hart desire
Thy Lord, now is he entred in,
To put to flight the deuil sinn,
The world the flesh: Behold h'is gone,
Thy contrite hart plow'd, harrowd, sown,
May, watered with his heauenly dew,
Spring forth, and fructify anew:
To which annex some pearlik drops,
That thou with ioy maist reap thy crops.
Raine followes wind; sigh, teares begin,
And drown as with a deluge sinne.
