Of Iron, Barracadoes, Flames and Grates
Doth boldly passe through; proves Companion,
Friend, solace, all things of himselfe alone;
Vnto close Prisoners and fills plenteously
The thirsty soules of his, with heavenly
Delights.* 1.2 Hee entered in the dores fast shut
To his Disciples, them to comfort; but
With godly prisoners he's a constant guesse
Resides; O happie he who doth possesse
Christ for his Fellow-prisoner, who doth gladde
With heavenly Sunbeames, Goales that are most sad,
Bonds, Torments, Prisons, make not him sad; he
Retaines a quiet mind how ere things be.
