I sing the Name which None can sayA
But touch t with An interiour RayA
The Name of our New Peace our GoodB
Our Blisse and Supernaturall BloodC
The Name of All our Lives and LovesD
Hearken And Help ye holy DovesD
The high born Brood of Day you brightE
Candidates of blissefull LightE
The Heirs Elect of Love whose Names belongF
Unto The everlasting life of SongF
All ye wise Soules who in the wealthy BrestG
Of This unbounded Name build your warm NestG
Awake My glory Soul if such thou beH
And That fair Word at all referr to TheeH
Awake and singI
And be All WingI
Bring hither thy whole Self and let me seeH
What of thy Parent Heaven yet speakes in theeH
O thou art PooreJ
Of noble Powres I seeH
And full of nothing else but empty MeH
Narrow and low and infinitely lesseH
Then this Great mornings mighty BusynesH
One little World or twoK
Alas will never doeL
We must have storeM
Goe Soul out of thy Self and seek for MoreM
Goe and requestG
Great Nature for the Key of her huge ChestG
Of Heavns the self involving Sett of SphearsH
Which dull mortality more Feeles then hearesH
Then rouse the nestG
Of nimble Art and traverse roundN
The Aiery Shop of soul appeasing SoundN
And beat a summons in the SameO
All soveraign NameO
To warn each severall kindP
And shape of sweetnes Be they suchQ
As sigh with supple windP
Or answer Artfull TouchQ
That they convene and come awayA
To wait at the love crowned Doores ofR
This Illustrious DayA
Shall we dare This my Soul we l doe t and bringI
No Other note for t but the Name we singI
Wake Lute and HarpS
And every sweet lipp t ThingI
That talkes with tunefull stringI
Start into life And leap with meH
Into a hasty Fitt tun d HarmonyH
Nor must you think it muchQ
T obey my bolder touchQ

Of Him who never sleeps All Things that AreT

Help me to meditate mine Immortall SongF
Come ye soft ministers of sweet sad mirthV
Bring All your houshold stuffe of Heavn on earthV
O you my Soul s most certain WingsH
Complaining Pipes and prattling StringsH
Bring All the storeM
Of Sweets you have And murmur that you have no moreM
Come n to partW
Nature and ArtW
Come and come strongF
To the conspiracy of our Spatious songF
Bring All the Powres of PraiseH
Your Provinces of well united Worlds can raiseH
Bring All your Lutes and Harps of Heaven and EarthV
What re cooperates to The common mirtheV
Vessells of vocall IoyesH
Or You more noble Architects of Intellectuall NoiseH
Cymballs of Heav n or Humane sphearsH
Solliciters of Soules or EaresH
And when you are come with AllU
That you can bring or we can callU

Your selves into the longF
And everlasting series of a deathlesse SongF
Mix All your many Worlds AboveR

And Place in the Great ThrongF
Of This unbounded All imbracing SongF
Powres of my Soul be ProudX
And speake lowdX
To All the dear bought Nations This Redeeming NameO
And in the wealth of one Rich Word proclaimO
New Similes to NatureY
May it be no wrongF
Blest Heavns to you and your Superiour songF
That we dark Sons of Dust and SorrowL
A while Dare borrowL
The Name of Your Dilights and our DesiresH
And fitt it to so farr inferior LyresH
Our Murmurs have their Musick tooX
Ye mighty Orbes as well as youX
Nor yeilds the noblest NestX
Of warbling Seraphim to the eares of LoveR
A choicer Lesson then the joyfull BrestX
Of a poor panting Turtle DoveR
And we low Wormes have leave to doeL
The Same bright Busynes ye Third Heavens with youX
Gentle Spirits doe not complainZ
We will have careA2
To keep it fairA2
And send it back to you againB2
Come lovely Name Appeare from forth the BrightX
Regions of peacefull LightX
Look from thine own Illustrious HomeC2
Fair King of Names and comeD2
Leave All thy native Glories in their Georgeous NestX
And give thy Self a while The gracious GuestX
Of humble Soules that seek to findX
The hidden SweetsH
Which man s heart meetsH
When Thou art Master of the MindX
Come lovely Name life of our hopeE2
Lo we hold our Hearts wide opeE2
Unlock thy Cabinet of DayX
Dearest Sweet and come awayX
Lo how the thirsty LandsH
Gasp for thy Golden Showres with longstretch t HandsH
Lo how the laboring EarthV
That hopes to beH
All Heaven by TheeH
Leapes at thy BirthV
The attending World to wait thy RiseH
First turn d to eyesH
And then not knowing what to doeL
Turn d Them to Teares and spent Them tooX
Come Royall Name and pay the expenceH
Of all this Pretious PatienceH
O come awayX
And kill the Death of This DelayX
O see so many Worlds of barren yearesH
Melted and measur d out is Seas of TearesH
O see The Weary liddes of wakefull HopeE2
Love s Eastern windowes All wide opeE2
With Curtains drawnF2
To catch The Day break of Thy DawnF2
O dawn at last long look t for DayX
Take thine own wings and come awayX
Lo where Aloft it comes It comes AmongG2
The Conduct of Adoring Spirits that throngF
Like diligent Bees And swarm about itX
O they are wiseH
And know what Sweetes are suck t from out itX
It is the HiveH2
By which they thriveH2
Where All their Hoard of Hony lyesH
Lo where it comes upon The snowy Dove sH
Soft Back And brings a Bosom big with LovesH
Welcome to our dark world ThouV
Womb of DayX
Unfold thy fair Conceptions And displayX
The Birth of our Bright IoyesH
O thou compactedX
Body of Blessings spirit of Soules extractedX
O dissipate thy spicy PowresH
Clowd of condensed sweets and break upon usH
In balmy showrsH
O fill our senses And take from usH
All force of so Prophane a FallacyH
To think ought sweet but that which smells of TheeH
Fair flowry Name In none but TheeH
And Thy Nectareall FragrancyH
Hourly there meetesH
An universall Synod of All sweetsH
By whom it is defined ThusH
That no PerfumeI2
For ever shall presumeI2
To passe for OdoriferousH
But such alone whose sacred PedigreeH
Can prove it Self some kin sweet name to TheeH
Sweet Name in Thy each SyllableU
A Thousand Blest Arabias dwellU
A Thousand Hills of FrankincenseH
Mountains of myrrh and Beds of speciesH
And ten Thousand ParadisesH
The soul that tasts thee takes from thenceH
How many unknown Worlds there areT
Of Comforts which Thou hast in keepingI
How many Thousand Mercyes thereA2
In Pitty s soft lap ly a sleepingI
Happy he who has the artX
To awake themJ2
And to take themJ2
Home and lodge them in his HeartX
O that it were as it was wont to beH
When thy old Freinds of Fire All full of TheeH
Fought against Frowns with smiles gave Glorious chaseH
To Persecutions And against the FaceH
Of Death and feircest Dangers durst with BraveK2
And sober pace march on to meet A GraveK2
On their Bold Brests about the world they bore theeH
And to the Teeth of Hell stood up to teach theeH
In Center of their inmost Soules they wore theeH
Where Rackes and Torments striv d in vain to reach theeH
Little alas thought TheyX
Who tore the Fair Brests of thy FreindsH
Their Fury but made wayX
For Thee And serv d them in Thy glorious endsH
What did Their weapons but with wider poresH
Inlarge thy flaming brested LoversH
More freely to transpireY
That impatient FireY
The Heart that hides Thee hardly coversH
What did their Weapons but sett wide the DooresH
For Thee Fair purple Doores of love s devisingI
The Ruby windowes which inrich t the EastX
Of Thy so oft repeated RisingI
Each wound of Theirs was Thy new MorningI
And reinthron d thee in thy Rosy NeH
