ARGUMENT.
Pango nec humanis Opus enarrabile Verbis,
Quæ meliùs possem Mira silendo loqui!
Da, DEUS, Illa canam, quæ Vox non personet ulla,
Metiar ut minimis Maxima Mira modis!
Quæ meliùs possem Mira silendo loqui!
Da, DEUS, Illa canam, quæ Vox non personet ulla,
Metiar ut minimis Maxima Mira modis!
She launcheth into shoarlesse Seas of Light,
Inexplicable, Infinite!
Whose Beams both strike her blinde, and renovate her Sight!
Inexplicable, Infinite!
Whose Beams both strike her blinde, and renovate her Sight!
