THE HART CONSECRATED to the loue of Iesvs.

The Hymne.

Iesv , behold the hart dilates
It-selfe to thee, and consecrates
It's triple power, and al within.
But oh! that heauy burden, sinne,
Drawes to the earth, and makes it fal
From high aspiring thoughts. Not al,
Who now support, giue it repose;
Thou art the Atlas, here enclose
Thy selfe within the hart, giue rest
To it, which otherwise opprest, sinks down.
With the heauy load, the world,
Make it despise (to gaine a crowne),
The earth, it's Nathir, and with thee
It's Zenith make Eternity.
