Methinks I see a Sight most excellent,
All Sorts of Birds fly in the Firmament:
Some great, some small, all of a divers kind,
Mine Eye affecting, pleasant to my Mind.
Look how they tumble in the wholesom Air,
Above the World of Wordlings, and their care.

And as they divers are in Bulk and Hue,
So are they in their way of flying too.

So many Birds, so many various things,
Tumbling i'th' Element upon their Wings.
