HYMN XIII.

Of her Mind.

E arth, now adieu! My ravished thought

L ifted to heaven, sets thee at nought!

I nfinite is my longing,

S ecrets of angels to be taught,

A nd things to heaven belonging!

B rought down from heaven, of angels' kind,

E ven now, do I admire her Mind!

T his is my contemplation!

H er clear sweet Spirit, which is refined

A bove humane creation!

R ich sunbeam of th' Eternal Light!

E xcellent Soul! How shall I write?

G ood angels make me able!

I cannot see but by your eye;

N or but by your tongue, signify

A thing so admirable.
