To The Arch-bishop Of Canterbvry.

How well these sacred Ornaments become
One, who by earth walkes this celestiall home:
The Staffe of Comfort this, to leane vpon,
This, Pall of peace, these, Crosses vndergone:
How easily good men (knowne well by this)
Lodge at the Inne of their eternall Blisse:
These Fruits, are workes, from Bounty springing found,
Perfuming Heau'n, & with Heau'ns bounties crown'd:
These shadow'd fruits, but by a figure, shew
The Ioyes of Paradise prepar'd for you:
Saile thither with good speede then, yet make stay;
Good Angels guide you, y'are i'th Abbots way.
