Lychnocausia | ||
7.
[If thus my light nights sable silence glads]
If thus my light nights sable silence glads,Making a cheerefull roome in midnight shads,
If Gold'n-like Phœbus and his silver sister,
He in the day, shee in the night doth glister;
What thought-surpassing light then shall that be,
When we in Heaven Empyrean God shall see?
Sooner thou canst the world hold in thy hand,
Or in a shell containe the glassie strand;
Than tell how glorious is the light of Heaven,
That dark'ns the Sunne, Moone, Stars, and Planets seven:
This onely tell: it is not Phœbus light,
Nor Phœbes, nor the spangles of the night.
That light which tongue cannot, nor mind descry,
Once shalt thou see, a supreame Diety.
