Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEFGGHHDDCCIDAs sinn makes gross the soule and thickens it | A |
To fleshy dulness so the spotless white | B |
Of virgin pureness made thy flesh as cleere | C |
As others soules thou couldst not tarry heere | C |
All soule in both parts and what could it bee | D |
The Resurrection could bestow on thee | D |
Allready glorious thine Innocence | E |
Thy better shroude sent thee as pure from hence | F |
As saints shall rise but hee whose bounty may | G |
Enlighten the greate sunn with double day | G |
And make it more outshine itselfe than now | H |
It can the moone shall crowne thy varnish'd brow | H |
With light above that sunn when thou shalt bee | D |
No lower in thy place than Majesty | D |
Crown'd with a Virgin's wreath outshining there | C |
The Saints as much as thou did'st mortalls heere | C |
Bee this thy hope and whilst thy ashes ly | I |
Asleepe in death dreame of Eternity | D |
