“Yet some, who all this while did weep and sing,
And sing and weep, soared up into the ring;
But most would use no wing.
O fools, said I, thus to prefer dark night
Before true light!”

The world in tune,
A spirit-voice,
And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”

That from some secret, golden Mine
Derives her birth, and thence doth bring
Cordials in every drop, and Wine;”
