Cannot I see this Garden? Yes, if the Master Will give you entrance. 'tis attempting fruit, and the most bright checked child I ever viewed, Sweet smelling goodly fruit, what flowers are these? In Dioclesian's Gardens, the most beauteous Compared with these are weeds: is it not February? The second day she died: Frost, Ice and snow Hang on the beard of Winter, where's the sun That guilds this summer, pretty sweet boy, say in what Country Shall a man find this Garden—, my delicate boy, gone! Vanished! Within there, juliarues and Gota.— My Lord. Are my gates shut? And guarded. Saw you not— a boy. Where? Here he entered, a young Lad, 1000. blessings danced upon his eyes, a smooth faced glorious Thing, that brought this Basket. No sir? Away, but be in reach if my voice calls you, No! vanished! and not seen, be thou a spirit Sent from that Witch to mock me, I am sure This is essential, and howe'er it grows, Will taste it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. So good, i'll have some now sure. Ha, ha, ha, ha, great liquorish fool. What art thou? A Fisherman, What dost thou catch; Souls, souls, a fish called souls. Geta. My Lord. Ha, ha, ha, ha. What insolent slave is this dares laugh at me? Or what is't the dog grins at so? I neither know my Lord at what, nor whom, for there is none without but my fellow Iulianus, and he's making a Garland for Iupiter. Iupiter! all within me is not well, And yet not sick. Ha, ha, ha, ha. What's thy name slave? Go look. 'tis Harpax voice. Harpax, go drag the Caitiff to my foot, That I may stamp upon him. Fool, thou liest. he's yonder now my Lord. Watch thou that end Whilst I make good this. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. he's at barleybreak, and the last couple are now in hell, Search for him, all this ground methink is bloody, And paved with thousands of those Christians' eyes Whom I have tortured, and they stare upon me; What was this apparition? sure it had A shape Angelical; mine eyes (though dazzled And daunted at first sight) tell me, it wore A pair of glorious wings, yea they were wings, And hence he flew; 'tis vanished, Iupiter For all my sacrifices done to him Never once gave me smile: how can stone smile, Or wooden Image laugh? ha! I remember Such Music gave a welcome to my ear, When the fair youth came to me: 'tis in the Air, Or from some better place, a power divine, Through my dark ignorance on my soul does shine, And makes me see a conscience all stained over, Nay drowned and damned for ever in Christian gore. Ha, ha, ha.
