But when the vigilant patrol Of stars walks round about the pole, Their leaves, that to the stalks are curl’d Seem to their staves the ensigns furl’d. Then in some flower’s belovèd hut Each bee, as sentinel, is shut, And sleeps so too; but if once stirr’d, She runs you through, nor asks the word. O thou, that dear and happy Isle, The garden of the world erewhile, Thou Paradise of the four seas Which Heaven planted us to please, But, to exclude the world, did guard With wat’ry if not flaming sword; What luckless apple did we taste To make us mortal and thee waste! Unhappy! shall we never more That sweet militia restore, When gardens only had their towers, And all the garrisons were flowers; When roses only arms might bear, And men did rosy garlands wear?

O're running it: all running o're beside This World! Nay Overflowing Hell; wherein      For thine Elect, there rose a mighty Tide!      That there our Veans might through thy Person bleed,      To quench those flames, that else would on us feed. • Oh! that thy Love might overflow my Heart!      To fire the same with Love: for Love I would. But oh! my streight'ned Breast! my Lifeless Sparke!      My Fireless Flame! What Chilly Love, and Cold?      In measure small! In Manner Chilly! See.      Lord blow the Coal: Thy Love Enflame in mee.
