An inward triumph doth my soul up-heave

And spread abroad through endlesse ’spersed aire.

My nimble mind this clammie clod doth leave,

And lightly stepping on from starre to starre

Swifter then lightning, passeth wide and farre,

Measuring th’ unbounded Heavens and wastfull skie;

Ne ought she finds her passage to debarre,

For still the azure Orb as she draws nigh

Gives back, new starres appear, the worlds walls ’fore her flie.
