An intuition,

A glory, an amenity,
Passing the dark condition
Of blind humanity,

As if he surely knew

All the blest wonders should ensue,

Or he had lately left the upper sphere,"

And had read all the sovran schemes and divine riddles there.

Heaven-born thy Jesus seemeth sure,
And thou a virgin pure.

Lady most perfect, when thy sinless face
Men look upon, they wish to be

A Catholic, Madonna fair, to worship thee.

SONNETS.
