Thomas Coventry.
To charme out sinne.
An Acrostick upon the Anagram.
T o charme out sinne, to you the power is given,H aving your Caducæus lent from heaven;
O may your Mace, the Emblem of that power
M akes good, and great: even to your latest houre
A ble them both in you: May you appeare
S till Pilote to that Helme, which you now steare.
C onscience your Court; in constancy persever,
O pposing what you have affronted ever,
V yce, howsoe're disguis'd in vertues weeds.
E nd as you have begun: so shall your deeds
N ot unremembred in the grave forsake you,
T ime (here so spent) shall there immortall make you.
R ecorded it shall be what you have bin,
Y our justice being made To charme out sinne.
