nor holy rapture wanted they to praise
thir maker； in fit strains pronounct or sung
unmeditated； such prompt eloquence
flowd from thir lips； in prose or numerous verse； ＇ 150 ＇
more tuneable then needed lute or harp
to add more sweetness； and they thus began。
these are thy glorious works； parent of good；
almightie； thine this universal frame；
thus wondrous fair； thy self how wondrous then！ ＇ 155 ＇
unspeakable； who sitst above these heavens
to us invisible or dimly seen
in these thy lowest works； yet these declare
thy goodness beyond thought； and power divine：
speak yee who best can tell； ye sons of light； ＇ 160 ＇
angels； for yee behold him； and with songs
and choral symphonies； day without night；
circle his throne rejoycing； yee in heavn；
on earth joyn all ye creatures to extoll
him first； him last； him midst； and without end。 ＇ 165 ＇
fairest of starrs； last in the train of night；
if better thou belong not to the dawn；
sure pledge of day； that crownst the smiling morn
with thy bright circlet； praise him in thy spheare
while day arises； that sweet hour of prime。 ＇ 170 ＇
thou sun； of this great world both eye and soule；
acknowledge him thy greater； sound his praise
in thy eternal course； both when thou climbst；
and when high noon hast gaind； and when thou fallst。
moon； that now meetst the orient sun； now flist ＇ 175 ＇
with the fixt starrs； fixt in thir orb that flies；
and yee five other wandring fires that move
in mystic dance not without song； resound
his praise； who out of darkness calld up light。

melodious murmurs； warbling tune his praise。
joyn voices all ye living souls； ye birds；
that singing up to heaven gate ascend；

on to thir mornings rural work they haste
among sweet dewes and flours； where any row

thir pamperd boughes； and needed hands to check
fruitless imbraces： or they led the vine ＇ 215 ＇

thou findst him from the heat of noon retird；
to respit his day…labour with repast；
or with repose； and such discourse bring on；
as may advise him of his happie state；
happiness in his power left free to will； ＇ 235 ＇
left to his own free will； his will though free；
yet mutable； whence warne him to beware
he swerve not too secure： tell him withall
his danger； and from whom； what enemie
late falln himself from heavn； is plotting now ＇ 240 ＇
the fall of others from like state of bliss；

starr interposd； however small he sees；
not unconform to other shining globes；
earth and the gardn of god； with cedars crownd ＇ 260 ＇
above all hills。 as when by night the glass

he speeds； and through the vast ethereal skie
sailes between worlds and worlds； with steddie wing
now on the polar windes； then with quick fann
winnows the buxom air； till within soare ＇ 270 ＇

a ph？nix； gazd by all； as that sole bird
when to enshrine his reliques in the suns
bright temple； to ？gyptian thebs he flies。
