I

Ye brisk, divine and living things,

Ye great exemplars, and ye heavenly springs,

Which I within me see;

Ye machines great,

Which in my spirit God did seat,

Ye engines of felicity;

Ye wondrous fabrics of His hands,

Who all possesseth that He understands;

That ye are pent within my breast,

Yet rove at large from East to West,

And are invisible, yet infinite,

Is my transcendent and my best delight.
