Easter Hymn.

DEath, and darkness get you packing, Nothing now to man is lacking, All your triumphs now are ended, And what Adam marr'd, is mended; Graves are beds now for the weary, Death a nap, to wake more merry; Youth now, full of pious duty, Seeks in thee for perfect beauty, The weak, and aged tir'd, with length Of daies, from thee look for new strength, And Infants with thy pangs Contest As pleasant, as if with the brest; Then, unto him, who thus hath thrown Even to Contempt thy kingdome down, And by his blood did us advance Unto his own Inheritance, To him be glory, power, praise, From this, unto the last of daies.
