THE EYE,

EL CARACOL, PER QUITAR DE ENOJOS,

The eye of Man once taken by the grace
And 'witching beauty of a Maiden's face,
However ftern his nature hitherto,

Affumes a foftnefs it before ne'er knew.

Ah! then how chang'd the cold imperious look
Which scarce the gaze of other eyes could brook!
How pliant then the fternly moulded mind

Of Sage and Soldier, as of rugged hind!
Each then alike, as though himself defpite,
Submits his ruder to the gentler might;

And, Strength to Softnefs through the eyes betray'd,
The Lion gentle as the Lamb is made.

Majestas et Amor.-OVID, Metam. 3.

QUISQUIS amat, servit; sequitur captivus amatam,

Fert domitâ cervice jugum, fert dulcia tergo

Verbera, fert stimulos, trahit et bovis instar aratrum.-MANTUAN,

PAR des yeux les deux fenestres,

Dards d'Amour deviennent maistres.

PRIMI, in omnibus præliis, oculi vincuntur.-TACIT. de Morib. Germ.

CLAMOR repentinus aliquis, aut imago, aut aspectus fugâ sæpè exercitum implevit : et hæc talia magis, quàm gladius, consternant hostem, videbisque militem vanis et inanibus magis, quàm justis formidinis causis moveri.-LIPS.

THE light of the Body is the Eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkTake heed therefore that the Light which is in thee be not darkness.-Luke xi. 34, 35.

BUT if thine Eye be evil, thy whole Body shall be full of Darkness. If therefore the Light that is in thee be Darkness, how great is that Darkness!-Matt. vi. 23.

Love in the Godhead.

FOR Love it was, that first created Light,
Mov'd on the Waters, chac'd away the Night
From the rude Chaos, and bestow'd new Grace
On Things, dispos'd of to their proper Place ;
Some to rest here, and some to shine Above:

Earth, Sea, and Heav'n, were all th' Effects of Love.-WALL.

LOVE is that Passion, which refines the Soul;

First made Men Heroes, and those Heroes Gods:

Its genial fires inform the sluggish Mass;

The rugged soften, and the tim'rous warm.

Give Wit to Fools, and Manners to the Clown:

The rest of Life is an ignoble Calm;

The Soul, unmov'd by Love's inspiring breath,

Like lazy Waters, stagnates and corrupts.-HIG. Gen. Con

Doth cheere the houfe, and darkeneffe chafe away;

To thee wh'art blind, I'm darke as fable night,

It's thy default, not mine; thou lak'ft thy fight.
The Moule cannot Hyperions glory fee;
Who want their eyes, no comfort have by me.

Christ is the glory of that light from hie,
Which can the darkest Chaos full defcry;
And yet we fee him not untill our eyes

He open, which thickeit darkeneffe doth furprife;
Then doth his light unto himselfe reflect

From us as mirrours, with a new afpect.
