Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

A strain of the earth's sweet being in the beginning
In Eden garden.-Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid's child, thy choice and worthy the winning.

Thy terror, O Christ, O God.
