T3 Y night when others foundly flept, ^^^ And had at once both eale and Rell, My waking eyes were open kept, And fo to lye I fovnd it beft.
II.
I Ibvght him whom my Soul did Love, With tears I fovght him earneftly; He bow'd his ear down from Above, In vain I did not feek or cry.
III.
My hungry Soul he fill'd with Good, He in his Bottle putt my teares,* My fmarting wounds waflit in his blood, And baniflit thence my Doubts and feares.
IV.
What to my Saviour fhall I giue. Who freely hath done this for me? Pie ferve him here whilft I fhall Hue, And Loue him to Eternity.
