I saw a Pismire,[²⁹] swallow up a Whale.

I saw a raging Sea, brim full of Ale.

I saw a Venice Glass, sixteen foot deep.

I saw a Well, full of mens tears that weep.

I saw their Eyes, all in a flame of fire.

I saw a House, as big as the Moon and higher.

I saw the Sun, even in the midst of night

I saw the Man that saw this wondrous sight.

[²⁹] An ant.
