That was not bounded with my clothes or skin,

Or terminated with my sight, the sphere

Of which was bounded with the Heavens here:

But that did rather, like the subtile light,

Secured from rough and raging storms by night,

Break through the lanthorn's sides, and freely ray

Dispersing and dilating every way:

Whose steady beams too subtile for the wind,

Are such that we their bounds can scarcely find.

It did encompass, and possess rare things,
