Joshua Sylvester - The Glorious Stars of Heaven

Joshua Sylvester - The Glorious Stars of Heaven

I'll ne'er believe that the Arch-Architect br With all these fires the heavenly arches decked br Only for show, and with their glistening shields br To amaze the poor shepherds watching in the fields: br I'll ne'er believe that the least flower that pranks br Our garden borders, or the common banks, br And the least stone that in her warming lap br Our kind nurse Earth doth covetously wrap br Hath some peculiar virtue of its own, br And that the glorious stars of Heaven have none, br But shine in vain, and have no charge precise, br But to be walking in Heaven's galleries, br And through the palace up and down to clamber br As golden gulls about a presence-chamber.
