3 And dainty dear, which on the ground still fell,
dainty dear > preciously rare still > continually
4 And overflowed all the fertile plain, 5 As it had dewed been with timely rain:
As > [As though] timely > seasonal; seasonable, opportune
6 Life and long health that gracious ointment gave,
gracious > [imbued with heavenly grace]
7 And deadly wounds could heal, and rear again 8 The senseless corse appointed for the grave.
corse > body appointed > made ready
9 Into that same he fell: which did from death him save.
