“Now, Now The Mirth Comes” A Thanksgiving to God, for his House. ord, Thou hast given me a cell LA Wherein to dwell little house, whose humble Roof Is weather-proof; Under the sparres of which I lie Both soft, and drie; Where Thou my chamber for to ward Hast set a Guard Of harmlesse thoughts, to watch and keep Me, while I sleep. Low is my porch, as is my Fate, Both void of state; And yet the threshold of my doore Is worn by'th poore, Who thither come, and freely get Good words, or meat: Like as my Parlour, so my Hall And Kitchin's small: A little Butterie, and therein A little Byn, Which keeps my little loafe of Bread Unchipt, unflead: Some brittle sticks of Thorne or Briar Make me a fire, Close by whose living coale I sit, And glow like it. Lord, I confesse too, when I dine, The Pulse is Thine, And all those other Bits, that bee There plac'd by Thee; The Worts, the Purslain, and the Messe Of Water-cresse, Which of Thy kindnesse Thou hast sent; And my content Makes those, and my beloved Beet, To be more sweet.

'Tis Thou that crown'st my glittering Hearth With guiltlesse mirth; And giv'st me Wassaile Bowles to drink, Spic'd to the brink. Lord, 'tis thy plenty-dropping hand, That soiles my land; And giv'st me, for my Bushell sowne, 'Twice ten for one: Thou mak'st my teeming Hen to lay Her egg each day: Besides my healthfull Ewes to beare Me twins each yeare: The while the conduits of my Kine Run Creame, (for Wine.) All these, and better Thou dost send Me, to this end, That I should render, for my part, A thankfull heart; Which, fir'd with incense, I resigne, As wholly Thine; But the acceptance, that must be, My Christ, by Thee.
