      "METHOUGHT I saw my late espoused Saint",
      "   Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave,",
      "   Whom Joves great Son to her glad Husband gave,",
      "   Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint.",
      "Mine as whom washt from spot of child-bed taint,",
      "   Purification in the old Law did save,",
      "   And such, as yet once more I trust to have",
      "   Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint,",
      "Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:",
      "   Her face was vail'd, yet to my fancied sight,",
      "   Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shin'd",
      "So clear, as in no face with more delight.",
      "   But O as to embrace me she enclin'd",
      "   I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night."
