Made fast in Mary's awful bower,

Hath mightier prov'd to bind than we to break;

None may that work undo, that Flesh unmake.

“Thenceforth, whom thousand worlds adore,

He calls thee Mother evermore;

Angel nor saint his face may see

Apart from what he took of thee;

How may we choose but name thy name,

Echoing below their high acclaim

In holy creeds? since earthly song and prayer
