Book I, 37: On the flourishing of the Gospell

by Francis Quarles 1592–1644

From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I

Religion

How doe our Pastures florish, and refresh
Our uberous Kine, so faire, so full of flesh!
How doe our thriving Cattell feed our young
With plenteous Milk; & with their flesh the strong
Heav'n blest our Charles, and he did our late Iames,
From Pharohs troubles, and from Pharohs Dreames.
