Jehovah the first, and Jehovah the last,
But the wisest must think very deep and fast,
To fix in his mind the first of all things.
All creatures began in the heavens and earth;
The sun and the moon and star had a birth;
But when and where the beginning of things?
Not yet is the answer, but I hope somewhere,
With Christ and his saints and seraphim fair,
To know more about the advent of things;
To get better acquainted with Adam the first,
