MS. Fairfax 4o. 
Thou pluckt me from destrctions Pitt 
And all my sins didst thou remitt 
For who in death can offrings bringe 
Or in the Graue thy Prayses singe 
Of All to Shades beneath repare 
Does any hope for Mercy ther 
The liuinge ‘tis the liuinge They 
Shall Prayse thee as I doe this day 
Father to sonne relate shall this 
How faithfull are thy Promises 
Since Lord thou hast prolong’d my days 
On Warbling Harpe [le giue thee prayse 
And in thy Courts wt Holy Fire 
Of Zeale pay thanks till I expire 
Simeon’s Songe 
As thou hast said soe Lord pray I 
In peace now lett thy seruant die 
Sence my blest eyes haue seene i'th end 
Saluation from thy Throne desend 
Which thou before earth frame was layd 
To saue Man-kind decreed had 
A light to guide the Gentiles ways 
Of Israel’s sones to be the prayse 
[The Songe of Salomon| 
Chap 2 
I am the Rose of Sharon’s fruitfull feild 
The Lilly wc the humble vallyes yeild 
In midst of thornes as Lilly appear’s aboue 
Soe mongst the youthfull Virgins is my loue 
As Apple-trees ‘mongst trees o’th Forrest growe 
Amongst the sones of Men my loue is soe 
Vnder whose shade is my delightfull seat 
And to my tast his fruit is pleasant meat 
Then to the house of wines he brought me in 
Wher Loue like banners was a Couer in 
Stay me wt" flaggons wth Apples Comfort giue 
Who’s sick of Loue may yitt haue hope to liue
