The Pious Turtles.

DId Heaven but gently to my wish reply, Lo thus would we converse my lovely deare; I say thus would we live while being here; And when to part from hence, thus would we dye. Vpon some shady, sandy, higher ground, Where the sweet birds should warbling musick give, And at whose foot some pittering Rillet wound, Like Baucis and Philemo•• would we live. Our clothing should be warm, and new, and neate, Not costly, nor too curious; and our dyet, Though plentifull and good, yet free from riot; Nor adding thirst to drink, nor lust to meat. No viperous envy, nor ambitious dreams, No care to pay some griping Landlord rent, No clamerous wealth, of many ploughes and team••, Should interrupt the calme of our content. Our handy labour should be sole addrest To the well husbanding of Hops, and Bees: Or to some Orchard, where the fruitfull trees Strove w^ch should yield the most, and w^ch the best. Nay borne by faith upon her lofty wings, We would beyond this under earth endeavour, Conversing with divine invisible things; Living and loving so, we might live ever; And when death came at length, to play his prize; Depart in peace, closing each others eyes.
