The azure vault, the crystal circles bright,

The gleaming, fiery torches powdered there,

The changing round, the shining, beamy light,

The sad and bearded fires, the monsters fair,

And prodigies appearing in the air;

The rending thunders, and the blust’ring winds,

The birds in hue, and shape, and nature rare;

The pretty notes of winged musicians fine;

Of earth the saucy flowers, the metalled mine,

The wholesome herbs, the healthful, pleasant trees,
