The first seene signe of her trew chastitie Round fleeting flew and cannopyed her skinne Two frothie globes of equall quantitie Playde on her breast with vaynes blew blushing thin Her tempting mouth aboue her dimpled chin Her rankes of pearle her halfe vp-spreading Roses Still other kist while still each other closes 13. Betweene the branches of her bodie lay Great Egypts wonders in the holie Print Whereon she reade and hauing reade would stay To meditate how Moses meeke was sent To that proud Prince who neuer would repent Till all his Chariotes wheeles and Assle trees Indented were with sandes amidst the seyes 14. Whiles would she turne and ouer-turne the leafe Whiles grauelie gather vp some sentence darke Whiles sadlie sit twixt doubting and beleefe How the first age was closde within an Arke Whiles with her foremest ioynt she would remarke The trimbling sacrifice that Abram old Made of his tender Sonne with courage bold 15. At last her heart did kindle vp her spirite Her spirite commanded both her knees to bow On yeelding knees the Lord she did intreate Her pithie prayers pure he would allow Which in his presence there she did avow Desyring that in heart he would resolue The apprehensions high she did reuolue 16. What meanes the brough so round about her hang Whose glancing rayes ●…ew Opall changing hewes What meanes the winged spirite so sweetlie sang The second Ad●… 〈◊〉 with ioyfull newes What boy it is my ●…ped spirite 〈◊〉 With Angels eyes what 〈◊〉 these words of mirth Glorie to God and peace to 〈…〉 17. At these her words her 〈◊〉 her 〈◊〉 His beauties blaze forbade her to admire For loe the sanct his message to ●…fold Proclamde these ●…ggied words with ●…yling cheare Hayle Virgine pure 〈◊〉 Dauids daughter deare Hayle well of 〈…〉 The Lambe 〈…〉 18. Hayle Marie mylde replenished with grace Beloued of God 〈◊〉 of all the 〈◊〉 That of the bleeting Eues of Adams race This onelie blessing great ●…ngs to thee Then to discharge thi message giuen to mee I blesse thy actions all I blesse thy name I blesse that blessed babe springs of thy wambe 19. The holie happie salutation giuen New admirations through her fenses ran With thoughts confusde and stented eyes to heuaen Vnto the winged Spirite she thus began Am I a mother neuer knew a man Or with the scornefull maydes shall I be loathed Whose onelie fault is this I was betrothed 20. Free flees my thoughts vnspotted is my fame I loath all companie that may allure I ballance not my pleasures with my shame With Iepthes girle I liue a Virgine pure I scorne to be enrold as Sichems hure Therefore the Lord in his appoynted day Will grant saluation to this tent of clay 21. I neuer went to see nor to be seene To Tymbrell sound I neuer caroll song I neuer danced in Cabinet nor greene Short passages nor mouing Measures long Earings of gold in treasse neuer hang Lyke twinkling stars I neuer learnde to smyle With rolling eyes nor ●…rging ●…earde style 22. I neuer shew my snow-white swelling globes To giue the insolent the more ●…yte I neuer walked in silken shyning robes The feeders of our fa●ill appetyte Dittayes of loue I neuer did indyte I neuer vsde perfumde nor paynted face Nor ●…ted Courtlie beck with minsing pace 23. No Marie no thy spotles thoughtes are knowne Thy faith is seene to the al-seeing eye Through all the earth thy blessings shall be showne Then feare thou not reprochfull in fa●…ie The Spirite in God shall ouer-shadow thee By him thou shalt conceaue that Holie one That sit for euer shall on Dauids throne 24. Great shall he be his Kingdome shall not moue Ouer all the house of lacob shall he sway All power shall be granted him aboue The corners of the earth shall him obey The Gentile Kings to him shall tribute pay Vpon their knees in honour of his birth At Bethlem with gold incense and mirth 25. Heauens soldiers shall scumme the toplesse skyes And sound the phamphere of his fame on hie Preists Propheits Patriarks with holie cryes That night about poore sheepherds heads shall flie The Angels and Archangels in degrie And winged Cherebins with warbling voice Round in a ring shall mightelie reioyce 26. With all the blessed troupes Hyerarchies As powers thrones and dominations Blest Serphins and Principalities Victorious Martyres with immortall Crownes Young innocents pure virgine whose renownes Gainst all assaults haue keept their chastitie As mid-wyue skild that office shall supplie 27. Now while these melodies shall mountaines moue And euerie Angell shall another leade This wonder wondrous for to approue Each sheepherd shall tune on an oaten reade With lylting lowde fast home-ward shall they speede And cause the countrie people all conueene To praise the Lord for wonders by them seene 28. Then shall the Ocean tumble vp her sand And prease her bounds to breake thy Sonne to see The wandring starres shall twinkling ouer him stand Which was the guyde to Herodes Princes three The fyrie lampe of heauens blew Cannopie Lest he be last his seruice to aduance Shall giue thy babe good-morrow with a glance 29. All flesh shall fold all Nations shall haue peace Sybillaes prophesies no faith shall haue By him the Delphin Oracle shall cease The Gentiles gods no longer shall deceaue And if thou would of me this question craue What name he heght these errours shall expell Manie they are but first Immanuell 30. The Gentiles hope and Iacobs morning starre The rocke of rayne and the corner stone The flower of Iesse that doth sent so farre The trew-Messias and that holie one The Prince of peace the Resurrection A Christ a Iesus and a Sauiour A Lambe a Silo and a great Pastour 31. The furnisher of faith the mercie sait The Sanctuarie great of mans refuge The Lords annoynted and his rewler great The word the way the Prophete and the Iudge The Ruther of the Arke in the deludge The bread of lyfe the Alpha and the end The Doue that Noe in his Ambassage send 32. The well of lyfe the bread sent down from heauen His Fathers Image bewtifull and faire Brightnes it selfe to whome all glore is giuen The first begotten and his Fathers Aire The serpent strong the helles all-spuilzier The bishoppe of our soules and brother deare Blest be thy bellie such a babe doth beare 33. Now while this winged Spirite had told this tale The sweete alluring lookes and comelie grace The mayde that at his entrie seemed pale Shynde lyke the birneist beames of Tytans face Dread left her thoghts feare gaue high ioy the place Her eyes eares heart and tongue were all content Vnto his happie charge to giue consent 34. Thou the Creator of all creature That formed the globe the morning and the nights That set the seyes and made the aire so pure That spangled all the heauens with fyrie lights Confirme thy promise made in all our sights And let thy hand-mayde finde that happie blessing Which Israels Dames could not obtain by wishing 35. With hyssope purge and purifie my heart Direct thy Spirite to cloath me with his wings Thy graces great on me pure me impart Mount vp my earthlie thoghts to heauenlie things And since that I euen of the King of Kings The mother am Lord lift my voice on hie With some sweete song thy name to magnifie 36. As this he said the sweete renewing Ghost Cled with a cloud begouth to doe his dew With glorie great he fild the house almost Like to a Turtle white his Image grew Betwene the Angell and the mayd he flew With soft sweete sober course and then did light Betwene her lips then vanisht out of sight 37. O far-fetcht fainting breath ô chiuering chin O flightring heart and eyes entombe in teares O hollow warbling throate now now begin With neuer tyring tune to fill the eares Of euerie creature my blessing heares O happie soule see thou these verses warpe Lyke these sometymes were sung to Dauids Harpe MARIES SONG THE Heauens eternall al-foreseeing King Our thoughts deepe searcher Natures father great The worlds strong Mouer founder of all thing Within the round and the infernall pit Strange graces hes he granted vnto me That without sin I should sing lullabie From high he hes beheld my pure estate And made my flightring Spirite his praise proclame His kindnes hes no periode nor date To all him loues all holie be his name The proud he hes despysed for loue of me And bids me sing on high sweete lullabie He hes deiect the mightie from their thrones And mounted humble hearts of poorest spirite Refresht he hes the hunger-steruing bones Of simple soules lay begging by the streete He hes sent downe his Angell vnto me And bids me rock the babe with lullabie That happie promise now he will fulfill Made in sweete Edens glauncing gardene gay To Abram on the sacrificing hill To him whose Harpe draue Saules euill spirit away He hes resolude the mother I should be To his deare deare and sing sweete lullabie For which sweete song the gwerdone shall be giuen When hopelesse age hes poynted out my end The fourth place in the Diamantiue heauen Where troupes of winged spirites shall me attend And on the earth each age shall speake of me For singing their sweete Sauiours lullabie FINIS

GABRIELL HIS SALVTATION TO MARIE 1. OVT from the orders of the Angels all Sings holie hymnes about the throne of grace The Lord commands to come vnto his call The winged Gabriell straight to embrace An happie charge for Eues vnhappie race Who since hir husbands fall had lyen within The foule alluring baytes of filthie sin 2. Swiftlie he came sweetlie the Lord did say Thou that hes oft my message borne in yre Kings to destroy and countries did deny My god-hoode great with hote consuming fyre Go now in peace let all thy rich attyre Be Azure hew bright starres therein thou fix I will my justice with my mercie mix 3. I will redeeme recall I will reclame Not by desert but by adoption Not for their merites but my glories Name No not compelde but at my option The house of Iacob by my onelie Sonne Borne of a Mayde and the beleeuers all That breathes beneath my euer-mouing Ball. 4. I will perfite my promise made indeede To the first man through facilnes that fell That his begot should bruse the serpents head Whose birth in bewtie should the rest excell Then where that Virgine rests I will thee tell Of all the Tribes that I haue taine for chose The famous Nazareth doth her enclose 5. Pure are her thoughts chaste are her actions all Firme is her faith and feruentlie doth pray Diuine in Spirite deuote on me to call Resolu'd in heart at euerie houre to pay The death her dew or yet content to stay So are her vertues knowne so flyes her fame Betrothde she is blest Marie heght her name 6. Salute the mayde with humble dewties dew Discharge my charge with reuerence and feare Seene shall it be although it seeme vntrew That of my Sonne she is the mother deare For when with glorie great thou drawes neare And warbles forth thy voice thou shall perceaue The holie Spirite the Sauiour conceaue 7. Thus said the Lord when Eoles windie Fanne The weeping dew from tender trees had rent And when the horned-Moone with visage wanne Her borrowed light had back to Tytan sent That all the night before he had her lent And this he said while all the hoste of heauen Proclaimde his glore for such commission giuen 8. And hauing said his armes abroad he threw And blest the messinger before him lay Then silent sat away the Angell flew And in the Aire his wings did wyde display He claue the cloudes and cut the vapors gray He made the heauens admire the waters wonder To see his glore and heare his thuds of thunder 9. With holie Canticles and hymnes he sings The ioyfull newes of mans saluation In flames of fyre were grauen betweene his wings The Birth the Buriall and the Passion The Death the Rysing and Conception Of Iesus Christ yea and the totall summe Of all his wondrous works that were to come 10. Dronke with delights sweete Nazareth he soght That place he compast thryfe aroud and ouer In Maries presence shortlie is he broght Graue was his grace while he on wing did houer At last his heauen-borne sight he did vncouer And with a shudder all the house he spangled With twinkling dew vnto his plumes were tangled 11. Amazde at first but not greatlie agast To see his glorie great she changed hew A blushing rednes swiftlie came and past And dayntilie her whitenes did subdew The lightning rayes that from her eye-lids flew When sodaine ioy made tumbling teares ouerflow Would soone haue set an heape of hearts on low 12.
