First Line: Welcome, bright sun, into our hemisphere
Last Line: Could I, though but unseen, keep pace with thee.
Subject(s): Hall, John (1627-1656)
WELCOME, bright sun, into our hemisphere:
Now thou art risen, we all disappear
As smallest sparks. Mount higher yet and make
All arts, and sciences, thy Zodiac:
I should desire to be thy Mercury,
Could I, though but unseen, keep pace with thee.
