HYMNE XV. Of her Wit.
Eye of that mind most quicke and cleere,—
Like Heauen's eye, which from his spheare
Into all things prieth:
Sees through all things euery where,
And all their natures trieth.
Like Heauen's eye, which from his spheare
Into all things prieth:
Sees through all things euery where,
And all their natures trieth.
Bright image of an angel's wit,
Exceeding sharpe and swift like it,
Things instantly discerning:
Hauing a nature infinit,
And yet increas'd by learning.
Exceeding sharpe and swift like it,
Things instantly discerning:
Hauing a nature infinit,
And yet increas'd by learning.
Rebound vpon thy selfe thy light,
Enioy thine own sweet precious sight
Giue us but some reflection;
It is enough for vs if we
Now in her speech, now policie,
Admire thine high perfection.
Enioy thine own sweet precious sight
Giue us but some reflection;
It is enough for vs if we
Now in her speech, now policie,
Admire thine high perfection.
