    So spake th Omnipotent, and with his words

    All seemd well pleasd, all seemd, but were not all.

    That day, as other solemn dayes, they spent

    In song and dance about the sacred Hill,

    Mystical dance, which yoarrie Spheare [ 620 ]

    Of Plas and of fixt in all her Wheeles

    Rese<u></u>mbles , mazes intricate,

    Etritervolvd, yet regular

    Then most, when most irregular they seem,

    And in thir motions harmonie Divine [ 625 ]

    So smooths her charming tohat Gods own ear

    (For wee have also our Eevning and our Morn,

    Wee ours for ge delectable, not need)

    Forthwith from dao sweet repast they turn [ 630 ]

    Desirous, all in Circles as they stood,

    Tables are set, and on a sudden pild

    With Angels Food, and rubied ar flows

    In Pearl, in Diamond, and massie Gold,

    Fruit of delicious Vihe growth of Heavn. [ 635 ]

    Of surfet where full measure onely bounds

    All but the unsleeping eyes of God to rest,

    Wide over all the Plain, and wider farr

    Then all this globous Earth in Plain out spred,

    Disperst in Bands and Files thir Camp extend

    By living Streams among the Trees of Life,

    Pavilions numberless, and sudden reard,

    Celestial Tabernacles, where they slept

    Satan, so call him now, his former name

    Is heard no more in Heavn; he of the first,

    If not the first Argel, great in Power, [ 660 ]

    In favour and pr?eminence, yet fraught

    With envie against the Son of God, that day

    Honourd by his great Father, and proclaimd

    Messiah King anointed, could not beare

    Through pride that sight, &amp; thought himself impaird. [ 665 ]
