    So Eevn and Morn recorded the Third Day.

    Again th Almightie spake: Let there be Lights

    High in th expanse of Heaven to divide [ 340 ]

    The Day from Night; ahem be fnes,

    For Seasons, and for Dayes, and cirg Years,

    Ahem be fhts as I ordaine

    Thir Offi the Firmament of Heavn

    To give Light on the Earth; and it was so. [ 345 ]

    And God made two great Lights, great for thir use

    To Man, the greater to have rule by Day,

    The less by Night alterne: and made the Starrs,

    Ahem in the Firmament of Heavn

    To illumihe Earth, and rule the Day [ 350 ]

    In thir vicissitude, and rule the Night,

    And Light from Darko divide. God saw,

    Surveying his great Work, that it was good:

    For of Celestial Bodies first the Sun

    A mightie Spheare he framd, unlightsom first, [ 355 ]

    Though of Ethereal Mould: then formd the Moon

    Globose, and every magnitude of Starrs,

    And sowd with Starrs the Heavn thick as a field:

    Of Light by farr the greater part he took,

    Transplanted from her cloudie Shrine, and placd [ 360 ]

    In the Suns Orb, made porous to receive

    And drink the liquid Light, firm to retaine

    Her gatherd beams, great Palaow of Light.

    Hither as to thir Fountain other Starrs

    Repairing, in th<bdi>９９lｉｂ?</bdi>ir goldn Urns draw Light, [ 365 ]

    And hehe M Pla guilds her horns;

    By tincture or refle they augment

    Thir small peculiar, though from human sight

    So farr remote, with diminution seen.

    First in his East the glorious Lamp was seen, [ 370 ]

    Regent of Day, and all th Horizon round

    Ied with bright Rayes, jod to run

    His Longitude through Heavns high rode: the gray

    Dawn, and the Pleiades before him dancd

    Shedding sweet influence: less bright the Moon, [ 375 ]

    But <cite>９9lｉb?</cite>opposite in leveld West was set

    His mirror, with full face borrowing her Light

    From him, for ht she needed none

    In that aspect, and still that distance keepes

    Till night, then in the East her turn she shines, [ 380 ]

    Revolvd on Heavns great Axle, and her Reign

    With thousand lesser Lights dividual holds,

    With thousand thousand Starres, that then appeerd

    Spangling the Hemisphere: then first adornd

    With thir bright Lumihat Set and Rose, [ 385 ]

    Glad Eevning and glad Morn d the fourth day.

    And God sa>?</a>id, let the Waters gee

    Reptil with Spawn abundant, living Soule:

    A Fowle flie above the Earth, wit<var>?.</var>h wings

    Displayd on the opn Firmament of Heavn. [ 390 ]
