O Sacred Essence, lighting me this hour, How may I lightly stile thy great power? Echo.Power. Power! but of whence? under the greenwood spraye? Or liv'st in Heaven? saye. Echo.In Heavens aye. In Heavens aye! tell, may I it obtayne By alms, by fasting, prayer,—by paine? Echo.By paine Show me the paine, it shall be undergone. I to mine end will still go on. Echo.Go on. Britannia's Pastorals.
