Crown declined by a Spiritual person.
I know no more the way to temporal rule,
Than he that’s born, and has his years come to him,
On a rough desart—
Middleton.

To a Votaress.
Keep still that holy and immaculate fire,
You chaste lamp of eternity; ’tis a treasure
Too precious for death’s moment to partake,
The twinkling of short life.—
Middleton.
