God saw, Surveying his great Work, that it was good: For of Celestial Bodies first the Sun A mightie Spheare he fram’d, unlightsom first, Though of Ethereal Mould: then form’d the Moon Globose, and everie magnitude of Starrs, And sowd with Starrs the Heav’n thick as a field: Of Light by farr the greater part he took, Transplanted from her cloudie Shrine, and plac’d In the Suns Orb, made porous to receive And drink the liquid Light, firm to retaine Her gather’d beams, great Palace now of Light.
