144 THE CHURCH.
Why doth my Mother blusli ? Is she the rose, And shows it so ? Indeed Christ's precious blood Gave you a colour once ; which when your foes Thought to let out, the bleeding did you good, And made you look much fresher than before. But when debates and fretting jealousies Did worm and work within you more and more, Your colour faded, aud calamities Turned your ruddy into pale and bleak, Your health and beauty both began to break.
Then did your several parts unloose and start : Wh...ich when your neighbours saw, like a north wind They rushed in, and cast them in the dirt, Where Pagans tread. Mother dear and kind; Where shall I get me eyes enough to weep — As many eyes as stars ! since it is night, And much of Asia and Europe fast asleep, A nd even all Africk : would at least I might With these two poor ones lick up all the dew, Which falls by night, and pour it out for you 1 JUSTICE.
O DREADFUL Justice, what a fright and terror Wast thou of old, When Sin and Error Did show and shape thy looks to me, And through their glass discolour thee He that did but look up was proud and bold.
