¶ On St. Michael the Archangel.

WE praise thee, Christ, among the quires
Of Angels, who thy voice obey,
That art the life of Heart-desires,
Thy Father's Power and shining Ray.
Whole myriads of heav'nly Peers
Fight for thy cause in close aray:
But Michael, who thy Standard bears,
The Cross of Safety does display.
He the pernicious Dragon threw
Into the flames of Hell's Abyss;
The Captain with his Rebel-Crew,
He thundred from Coelestial Bliss.
Under this Prince let's every one
Against Pride's Captain combat so,
As that the Lamb may from his Throne.
Crown Glories upon us below.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And to the Holy Ghost in Heaven,
As hitherto it hath been done,
Let Glory evermore be given.
