Tixall Poetry
The Expostulation of
St Mary Magdalen.
As grief-enthraled Magdalen
Beheld him on the fa tall tree,
Amaz'd she stood; her spirit then
(Returned from passion's extasie)
With interrupting sighs she vents,
And brekes aloud into thees sad laments.—
Beheld him on the fa tall tree,
Amaz'd she stood; her spirit then
(Returned from passion's extasie)
With interrupting sighs she vents,
And brekes aloud into thees sad laments.—
Is this the goodly worke in me
You so commended as you fed?
Is this the happy mistery
I blindly wrought upon thy head?
You so commended as you fed?
Is this the happy mistery
I blindly wrought upon thy head?
