Book III, 27: On MARY and JVDAS
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
Mary did kisse him: Iudas kist him too,
But both their aymes were coverd in a mist;
Both kisse our Saviour; but their kisses doe
Differ as farre as did the Parts they kist:
There's danger still, where double hearts doe steale
The forme of Love, or weare the cloake of Zeale.
