HYMN XX.

Of the Passions of her Heart.

E xamine not th' inscrutable Heart,

L ight Muse! of Her, though She in part

I mpart it to the subject!

S earch not! although from heaven thou art!

A nd this a heavenly object.

B ut since She hath a heart, we know

E ver some Passions thence do flow,

T hough ever ruled with honour.

H er judgement reigns! They wait below,

A nd fix their eyes upon her!

R ectified so, they, in their kind,

E ncrease each virtue of her Mind,

G overned with mild tranquility.

I n all the regions under heaven,

N o State doth bear itself so even,

A nd with so sweet facility.
