5	Give me my scallop-shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope's true gage; And thus I'll take my pilgrimage. Blood must be my body's balmer, No other balm will there be given, Whilst my soul like a white palmer Travels to the land of heaven, Over the silver mountains, Where spring the nectar fountains: And there I'll kiss The bowl of bliss, And drink my eternal fill On every milken hill. My soul will be a-dry before, But after, it will thirst no more. And by the happy blissful way More peaceful pilgrims I shall see, That have shook off their gowns of clay, And go apparelled fresh like me. I'll bring them first To slake their thirst, And then to taste those nectar suckets At the clear wells Where sweetness dwells, Drawn up by saints in crystal buckets. And when our bottles and all we Are filled with immortality, Then the holy paths we travel, Strewed with rubies thick as gravel, Ceilings of diamonds, sapphire floors, High walls of coral, and pearl bowers, From thence to heavens's bribeless hall, Where no corrupted voices brawl, No conscience molten into gold, No forged accusers bought and sold, No cause deferred, nor vain-spent journey, For there Christ is the King's Attorney, Who pleads for all without degrees, And he hath angels, but no fees. When the grand twelve-million jury Of our sins, with direful fury, 'Gainst our souls black verdicts give, Christ pleads his death, and then we live. Be thou my speaker, taintless pleader, Unblotted lawyer, true proceeder! Thou movest salvation even for alms, Not with a bribed lawyer's palms. And this is my eternal plea To him that made heaven, earth, and sea: Seeing my flesh must die so soon, And want a head to dine next noon, Just at the stroke, when my veins start and spread, Set on my soul an everlasting head! Then am I ready, like a palmer fit, To tread those blest paths which before I writ.	Heaven
6	Divine is love, and scorneth worldly pelf, And can be bought with nothing but with	Love
7	Even such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with earth and dust; Who, in the dark and silent grave, When we have wandered all our ways, Shuts up the story of our days. But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.	Time
8	Silence in love betrays more woe Than words, though ne'er so witty; A beggar that is dumb, you know, May challenge double pity.	Silence
9	But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t'allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June Persuade delay, What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon?	Parting
10	But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t'allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June Persuade delay, What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon?	Saying Goodbye
