Such were the last, the sweetest Notes that hung Upon our dying Swan's melodious Tongue: Notes, whose strong Charms the dullest Ear might move, And melt the hardest Heart in flames of Love: Notes, whose Seraphic Raptures speak a mind From Human Thoughts, and Earthly Dross refin'd; So just their Harmony, so high their flight, With Joy I read them, and with Wonder write.
Sure, happy Saint, this Noble Song was giv'n To fit Thee for th' approaching Joys of Heav'n: Love, wondrous Love, whose Conquest was thy Theme, Has taught thy Soul the airy way to climb; Love snatch'd Thee, like Elijah to the Skie, In Flames that not consume, but purifie: There with thy Fellow-Angels, mixt, and free From the dull load of dim Mortality; Thou feel'st new Joys, and feed'st thy ravish'd sight With unexhausted Beams of Love and Light: And sure, blest Spirit, to compleat thy Bliss, In Heav'n thou sing'st this Song, or one like This.
