XI.

When thus I lost the Sense,

Of all the heathful World calls Bliss,

And held it Joy, those Joys to miss,

When Beauty was Offence:

Celestial Strains did read the Aire,

Shaking these Mansions of Despaire;

A Form Divine and bright,

Stroke Day through all that Night

As when Heav'ns Queen

In Hell was seen,

With wonder and affright!
