Pray and prosper.
FIrst offer Incense, then thy field and meadsShall smile and smell the better by thy beads.The spangling Dew dreg'd o're the grasse shall beTurn'd all to Mell, and Manna there for thee.Butter of Amber, Cream, and Wine, and OileShall run, as rivers all throughout thy soyl.Wod'st thou to sincere-silver turn thy mold?Pray once, twice pray; and turn thy ground to gold.
