She Loved the Day, She Loved the LORD, of whom The Day proclaimed his Rising from the Tomb. MARY this Day knew what it was to have Joy in a JESUS Rising from the Grave. Bright Day, Thou Soul of Piety; we see All True Religion Lives or Dyes with thee. My Heroine saw this, and kept the Day; This was, or None, She saw, to Heaven the way Vain Things Lay by; but with a Zealous Heart, Now MARY chose and sought the Better part. So on THIS DAY at last She must Expire, And to a Sacred Rest with CHRIST Retire. The Seventh and the Sacred Day, the Dove Takes for her Flight unto the Ark above.

Bright Day, Thou Soul of Piety; we see All True Religion Lives or Dyes with thee.
