Nascimur in lachrimis, sponsalia ludificantur.
Curarum Scylla, morte beatus homo.
Born crying infants, married into cares
Divorced by death, Blisse crownes our dying years
Christs Advent doth both grace and glory bring
And bids our roomes be garnished for our King
That love faith hope may cleanse our hearts again
And Lion-fiercenesse henceforth become tame
His blood's a laver for the floods of sin
To wash the world and shrowd his darlings in:
The Churches Armes he tells us is the Arke
Wherein we should poore foules with hast embarque,
Manna and Qauailes sent, rocks broach'd in a mist
To shade the viands of the Eucharist,
Bread thresh'd and ground to dust by sin and ........
Is Christ a staffe of life for us to use
Here the best staffe to keepe our footsteps even
Thereafter the best Jacob's - State for Heav'n
