II

Did not I covet to behold

Some endless monarch, that did always live

In palaces of gold,

Willing all kingdoms, realms, and crowns to give

Unto my soul! Whose love

A spring might prove

Of endless glories, honors, friendships, pleasures,

Joys, praises, beauties and celestial treasures!

Lo, now I see there's such a King,

The fountain-head of everything!
