The azured 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: The prodigies appearing in the air, The rearding thunders, and the blustering winds, The fowls, in hue, in shape, in nature rare, The pretty notes that wing'd musicians finds: In earth the sav'ry flowers, the metall'd minds, The wholesome herbs, the haughty pleasant trees, The silver streams, the beasts of sundry kinds, The bounded roars, and fishes of the seas: All these, for teaching man, the Lord did frame, To do his will, whose glory shines in thame. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING SONG OF THE BIRDS by JAMES I THE GUDE AND GODLIE BALLATES, SELECTION by JAMES I THE KING'S [OR, KINGIS] QUAIR (THE KING'S BOOK) by JAMES I TO W.E.B.
