While you're on earthy there is no furety
For our true faith —
MARY.

Oh, happy and glad tidings ! glorious news !

' Angels defcending from their bleft abodes,
* Cou'd not have hail'd me with more welcom.c
' founds. —
* Then it hath pleas'd the gracious Hcav'ns at laft
' To hear my prayers, and recompenfe my woes/
Now, in one bleffed moment, all my pain,
All my long fufferings are exchanged for blifs..
Thefe ears have heard me thus proclaim'd a faint;
And Mary's, aye, poor Mary's weeping eyes
Have liv'd to fee her crown of martyrdom. —
I'll miike ihort preparation ; and mean while.
Let all my fervants be in readinefs ;
And bid my confeffor to follow me.
