Classic Poem

If Sunne -Beames spring, by kinde, from Heaun'ly ground,
If Voice, diuining Eares , from Angells comes,
If breath that yeelds as sweete a Sent, as Sound
Celestiall bee, and Sence, with ioy, ore'comes:
Then, Face , and Voice , and Breath of my sweet Saint
Are most Celestiall: and, if so they bee,
The Spirit of Science did this Picture paint
By Coppy of his owne Diuinity!
If so, she is most mercifull, and iust:
Sith Hee in both is most, most infinite;
Which makes vs feare, and yet, in Him, to trust;
And so, shee doth, in Wisedome exquisite:
Which oft, in Iustice , humbles daring Men
And then, in Mercy , liftes them vp agen.
