That blefled place of Chrifts nativity ? 

 Did he returne and preach him ? preach him fo 

 AsfinceS.P^///none did, none could? Thofeknow, 

 (Such as were bleft to heare him) this is truth/ 

 Did he confirm thy aged ? ^ convert thy youth ? 

 Did he thefe wonders ? And is this deare lojfTe 

 Mourn'd by fo few ? (few for fo great a crolTe.) 



But fure the filent are ambitious all 

 To be Clofe Mourners at his Funerall ; 

 If not; In common pitty they forbare 

 By repetitions to renew our care ; 

 Or, knowing, griefe conceiv'd, conceal'd, confumes 

 Man irreparably, (as poyfon'd fumes 

 Doe wafte the braine) make filence a fafe way, 

 To' inlarge the Soule from thefe walls, mud and clay, 

 (Materials of this body) to remaine 

 With Donne in heaven, where no promifcuous pain 



* As none but hee did, or could do ? They know 



(Such as were blefl: to heare him know) 'tis truth. — 1633.
