VIII.

_The Prophets._

Thy Eagle-sighted Prophets too,

Which were thy Churches Organs, and did sound 65

That harmony, which made of two

One law, and did unite, but not confound;

Those heavenly Poëts which did see

Thy will, and it expresse

In rythmique feet, in common pray for mee, 70

That I by them excuse not my excesse

In seeking secrets, or Poëtiquenesse.
