Social Commentaries
Of Divine contemplation
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Christ shin'd in glory upon those that went
To Tabors toppe with him; and so when we
By contemplation make our high ascent
'Bove worldly cares, through which we dimly see;
God lights us with his splendour, and displayes
His pretious beauties with propitious rayes.
