<L>Within this <HI>Royal Cabinet;</HI></L>
<L>To who&s;e <HI>Eternal Hallowed-Vrn,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Pilgrims</HI> from Far, &s;hall come and <HI>Mourn:</HI></L>
<L>Their <HI>Snowy-Heads</HI> &s;hall <HI>Pro&s;trate</HI> here,</L>
<L>And Drop a <HI>Pearly-Aged Tear.</HI></L>
<L>TIME, that does make <HI>of All</HI> his <HI>Game,</HI></L>
<L>And over <HI>all our Hours</HI> does <HI>Reign;</HI></L>
<L>With this <HI>Great Trea&s;ure</HI> now Po&s;&s;e&s;t,</L>
