Now come my swift pac’d feete, to Syons seate,

And faire Jerusalem: heere to relate

Her sacred Monuments, and these sweet places,

Were fil’d with Prophets, and Apostles faces:

Christs Crub at Bethleem, and Maries Cave,

Calvar, and Golgotha, the Holy Grave:

Deepe Adraes valley, Hebrons Patriarch’d Tombe,

Sunke Lazars pit, whence hee rose from earths wombe:

Judeas bounds, and Desarts; that smoaking Lake

Which orient folkes do still for Sodome take.

Thence view’d I Jordan, and his mooddy streames,

Whence I a Rod, did bring to Royall James.

[VI. 238.]The lumpe falne Jerico, and th’ Olive Mount,

With Gethesamaine, where Christ to pray was wont:

The Arabian desarts, then Egypt land

I toyling saw, with Nylus swelling strand:

Where for discourse, the seaventh part shall thee show

What thou mayst learne, and what by sight I know,

Of matchlesse Egypt; and her unmatch’d bounds,

That twice a yeare, in growth of graine abounds.
