<l>Good morning to the Day; and, next, my Gold:
<l>Open the shrine, that I may see my Saint.
<l>Hayle the worlds soule, and mine. More glad then is
<l>The teeming earth, to see the longd-for Sunne
<l>Peepe through the hornes of the Cælestiall Ram,
<l>Am I, to view thy splendor, darkening his:
<l>That lying here, amongst my other hoordes,
<l>Shew'st like a flame, by night; or like the Day
<l>Strooke out of Chaos, when all darkenes fled
<l>Unto the center. O thou Son of Sol,
<l>(But brighter then thy father) let me kisse,
<l>With adoration, thee, and euery relique
<l>Of sacred treasure, in this blessed roome.
<l>Well did wise Poets, by thy glorious n . . .
