The Resurrection.
WHy should I be afraid to dye,Or let my body in earth lye.In that safe bed I'me laid to sleep,When others in their closets weep.
It is to me a quiet night,And next day brings the wished light,That makes for me eternall day,My body there feels no decay.
And when I waken, I shall findeAll things well pleasing to my minde.Youth, beauty, spirit, now presentThemselves for that days Ornament.
With Robes more bright then are the beams,That from her pleasing Sun here streams,Decay they say they never will,For they were made with exact skill,
descriptionPage 53
To adorne the bodies that ascend,And on the Deity attend,Now shall I see my Princely peer,That I on earth did hold so deer.
And with him still converse shall I,Who would not now let their soul fly,Seing there's no fear of decay,Fools that think death a dismall day.
