Love
To Julia in the Temple.
From Hesperides (1648)
Love
BEsides us two, i'th' Temple here's not one
To make up now a Congregation.
Let's to the Altar of perfumes then go,
And say short Prayers; and when we have done so,
Then we shall see, how in a little space,
Saints will come in to fill each Pew and Place.
