Formarumque chorus sequitur, motusque decentes.
At caput invisum Stygiis Nox atra tenebris.
Abdidit, horrendæque simul Formidinis ora

Undique Lætitiâ florent mortalia corda,
Purus et arridet largis fulgoribus Æther.”[116]

Or of the Eternal, coeternal beam,
May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light,
And never but in unapproached light
