Living
The Transfiguration.
From Hesperides (1648)
Living
IMmortall clothing I put on,
So soone as Julia I am gon
To mine eternall Mansion.
Thou, thou art here, to humane sight
Cloth'd all with incorrupted light;
But yet how more admir'dly bright
Wilt thou appear, when thou art set
In thy refulgent Thronelet,
That shin'st thus in thy counterfeit?
