Was never either heard or seen,
When this poor saint was placed so high,
And of all sins made freely clean;
But then when she was thus possest,
And looked baek on all her fears;
And that she was eome to all her rest,
Free'd from all sins, and all her tears,
She from her head did take the erown,
Giving all praise to Christ on high,
And at his feet she laid it down.
For that the Lamb had made her free,
Now doth she sing triumphantly,
And shall rejoice for evermore,
O'er death and hell vietoriously
With lasting pleasures laid in store.



CONCLUSION.

Of wife of beith I make an end,
And do these lines with this conelude,
Let none their lives in sin now spend,
But watch and pray, be doing good,
Despondent souls do not despair,
Repent, and still believe in Christ,
His mereies, whieh last for evermore,
Will save the souls that in him trust.

FINIS.
