In mystic Dance not without Song, resound
With wheels yet hovring ore the Ocean brim, [ 140 ]
Shot paralel to the earth his dewie ray,
But first from under shadie arborous roof,
And choral symphonies, Day without Night,
Unmeditated, such prompt eloquence
While day arises, that sweet hour of Prime. [ 170 ]
Thou Sun, of this 九九藏書great World both Eye and Soule,
And when high Noon hast gaind, and when thou fallst.
Thir Maker, in fit strains pronounct or sung
Soon as they forth were come to open sight
With thy bright Circlet, praise him in thy Spheare
Discovering in wide Lantskip all the East
Speak yee who best can tell, ye Sons of Ligh九-九-藏-書t, [ 160 ]
On Earth joyn all ye Creatures to extoll
Unspeakable, who sitst above these Heavens
In various style, for neither various style
In thy eternal course, both when thou climbst,
If better thou belong not to the dawn,
Sure pledge of day, that crownst the smiling Morn
Fairest of Starrs, last in the train of Night九*九*藏*書,
In these thy lowest works, yet these declare
Of Paradise and Edens happie Plains,
Of day-spring, and the Sun, who scarce up risen
More tuneable then needed Lute or Harp
Almightie, thine this universal Frame,
Acknowledge him thy Greater, sound his praise
These are thy glorious works, Parent of good,
Circle his Throne rejoycread.99csw.coming, yee in Heavn,
To add more sweetness, and they thus began.
Angels, for yee behold him, and with songs
Thir Orisons, each Morning duly paid [ 145 ]
Thy goodness beyond thought, and Power Divine:
Flowd from thir lips, in Prose or numerous Verse, [ 150 ]
To us invisible or dimly seen
Thus wondrous fair; thy self how wondrous theread.99csw.comn! [ 155 ]
His praise, who out of Darkness calld up Light.
Moon, that now meetst the orient Sun, now flist [ 175 ]
Him first, him last, him midst, and without end. [ 165 ]
Lowly they bowd adoring, and began
Nor holy rapture wanted they to praise
With the fixt Starrs, fixt in thir Orb that flies,
And yee five other wandring Fires that move
