IESVS VVOVNDS AND PIERCED THE hart vvith the shafts of loue.

The Hymne.

The Diuels Archer, Erbinger
Of lust blind Cupid did appear,
But durst not stay to bend his bow,
He saw the hart with arrowes glow,
Which made him slinke away the chast
And spotles hart he cannot blast,
Which being cleans'd from sinne, is shut
From that blind hoy, whose only but
Are harts polluted, without white.
Behold the woūds Christ makes, delighte
See where the Angels pointing stand,
Giue ayme, by lifting vp their hand;
Or rather while the shafts abound,
Wish they had harts that he might woūd.
