The settled order of the world revoke,

And change all forms of things, which He foresaw.

Could Eve's weak hand, extended to the tree,

In sunder rent that Adamantine Chain,

Whose golden links, Effects and Causes be;

And which to GOD's own chair, doth fixt remain?

O could we see! how Cause from Cause doth spring!

How mutually they linked and folded are!

And hear how oft one disagreeing string,

The harmony doth rather make, than mar!
