CHRISTMAS-DAY, 1659.

BUT art thou come, dear Saviour? hath thy love Thus made thee ftoop, and leave thy throne above

The lofty Heavens, and thus thyself to dress

In duft, to visit mortals? Could no lefs
A condefcenfion ferve? And, after all,
The mean reception of a cratch and stall!
Dear Lord, I'll fetch thee thence, I have a room;
'Tis poor, but 'tis my beft, if thou wilt come
Within fo fmall a cell, where I would fain
Mine and the World's Redeemer entertain,
I mean my Heart; 'tis fluttish, I confefs;
And will not mend thy lodging, Lord, unless
Thou fend before thy harbinger, I mean
Thy pure and purging Grace, to make it clean,
And sweep its nafty corners; then I'll try
To wash it alfo with a weeping eye:

And when 'tis swept and wafht, I then will go,
And with thy leave I'll fetch fome flowers that grow
In thine own garden, Faith, and Love to thee;
With those I'll drefs it up, and these shall be
My rosemary and bays. Yet when my best
Is done, the room's not fit for fuch a guest.
But here's the cure, thy prefence, Lord, alone
Will make a ftall a court; a cratch a throne.

THE Prince of Heaven, from amidst the throng

Of glorious Angels, did come down among

His earthly cottagers, and did enshrine,

In veil of flesh, his Majefty divine.
