Where persons three, with power and glory crown'd,

Are all one God, who made all things of naught.

Under whose feet, subjected to his grace

Sit nature, fortune, motion, time and place.

This is the place from whence like smoke and dust

Of this frail world, the wealth, the pomp, the power,

He tosseth, humbleth, turneth as he lust,

And guides our life, our end, our death and hour,

No eye (however virtuous, pure and just)

Can view the brightness of that glorious bower,
