Henceforth let all our love seraphic turn,

The sprightly and the vigorous flame

On th' altar let it ever burn,

And sacrifice its ancient name:

170A tablet on my heart next I'll prepare

Where I would draw the Holy Sepulchre,

Behind it a soft landskip I would lay

Of melancholy Golgotha!

On th' altar let me all my spoils lay down,

And if I had one, there I'd hang my laurel crown.
