VII.

Such is Our Mother Earth, on whose fair brow
The tall, and long-liv'd Cedars grow,
Trees which are full of Sap, whose heads defy
The Heav'ns, and near-approaching sky:
Cedars the glory of all Woods, and King of Trees;
In whose fair boughes the Eagle has her nest,
And undisturb'd can rest,
None but the Sun her Airy Sees,
When in his purer flames she tryes
How her young brood can dare the Light,
And had they wings, in'his beames directly rise,
Able to blind anothers sight,
And hazard more their plumes than eyes;
The Stork a Story Lower takes her place,
And for an house the Firr-tree has,
Till an appointed Time
Recall her to some other Clime;
Whilst underneath the craggy clift
A Refuge for the Goat is left;
307

And weaker Conys by Gods Providence,
Have from strong rocks, more than their heels, a sure defence.
