IESVS SINGS IN THE QVIRE OF THE hart, to the Angels playing on musical instruments.

THE HYMNE.

If thou within my hart wouldst awel;
O IESV, then what Philomel,
Could warble with so sugred throte,
To make me listen to her note?
The Syrens of the world to me;
Would seeme to make no harmony.
When they a long a large resound
Of pleasures, thou dost them confound,
Chanting a long, a large to me,
With ecchoing voyce, Eternity!
A briefe of pleasure, with like strayne
Thou soundst a long of endlesse payne,
The Diapason, ioyes for me,
To liue in blisse eternally.
