REGARDFUL presence! whose fix'd majesty Darts admiration on the gazing look That brings it not: state sits enthron'd in thee, Divulging forth her laws in the fair book Of thy commandëments, which none mistook That ever humbly came therein to see Their own unworthiness. Oh! how can I Enough admire that symmetry, express'd In new proportions, which doth give the lie To that arithmetic which hath profess'd All numbers to be hers? Thy harmony Comes from the spheres, and there doth prove Strange measures so well grac'd, as majesty Itself like thee would rest, like thee would move. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN WALKED BUD WITH A PALETTE by CLARENCE MAJOR THE GYPSY by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS THE EVERLASTING GOD by EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH THE SILKWORM by VINCENT BOURNE LAMENT FOR OLD MEN by VERNE BRIGHT TO FALL by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN SONGS IN ABSENCE: 9.
