    The Sixt, and of Creation last arose

    With Eevning H<dfn>藏书网</dfn>arps and Mattin, when God said, [ 450 ]

    Let th Earth bring forth Soul living in her kinde,

    Cattel and Creeping things, a of the Earth,

    Ea their kihe Earth obeyd, and strait

    opning her fertile Woomb teemd at a Birth

    Innumerous livi<var></var>ng Creatures, perfet formes, [ 455 ]

    Limbd and full grown: out of the ground up rose

    As from his Laire the wilde Beast where he wonns

    In Forrest wilde, in Thicket, Brake, or Den;

    Among the Trees in Pairs they rose, they walkd:

    The Cattel in the Fields and Meddowes green: [ 460 ]

    Those rare and solitarie, these in flocks

    Pasturing at once, and in broad Herds upsprung.

    The grassie Clods now Calvd, now half appeerd

    The Tawnie Lion, pawing to get free

    His hinder parts, then springs as broke from Bonds, [ 465 ]

    And Rampant shakes his Brinded main; the Ounce,

    The Libbard?99liｂ., and the Tyger, as the Moale

    Rising, the crumbld Earth above them threw

    In Hillocks; the swift Stag from under ground

    Bore up his brang head: scarse from his mould [ 470 ]

    Behemoth biggest born of Earth upheavd

    His vastness: Fleect the Flocks and bleating rose,

    As Plants: ambiguous between Sea and Land

    The River Horse and scalie Crocodile.

    At once came forth whatever creeps the ground, [ 475 ]

    I or Worme; those wavd thir limber fans

    For wings, and smallest Lis exact

    In all the Liveries dect of Summers pride

    With spots of Gold and Purple, azure and green:

    These as a lihir long dimension drew, [ 480 ]

    Streaking the ground with sinuous traot all

    Minims of Nature; some of Serpent kinde

    Wondrous ih and corpulenvolvd

    Thir Snakie foulds, and added wings. First crept

    The Parsimonious Emmet, provident [ 485 ]

    Of future, in small room large heart enclosd,

    Pattern of just equalitie perhaps

    Hereafter, joind in her popular Tribes

    Of onaltie: swarmi appeerd

    The Female Bee that feeds her Husband Drone [ 490 ]

    Deliciously, and builds her waxen Cells

    With Hoord: the rest are numberless,

    And thou thir Natures knowst, &amp; gavst them Names,

    Needless to thee repeated; nor unknown

    The Serpent suttlst Beast of all the field, [ 495 ]

    Of huge extent somtimes, <var>..</var>with brazen Eyes

    And hairie Main terrific, though to thee

    Not noxious, <cite>..</cite>but obedient at thy call.
