“SEE THE VAST NUMBER OF THESE SNOW-WHITE DRESSES!
SEE HOW EXTENSIVE IS OUR CITY!”....
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
ARRAYED IN SEMBLANCE OF A SNOW-WHITE ROSE
THAT HOLY ARMY WAS REVEALED TO SIGHT
WHICH FOR HIS SPOUSE, IN DEATH OUR SAVIOUR CHOSE.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“VIEW NOW THE CIRCLES E’EN THE MOST REMOTE
UNTIL THE QUEEN UPON HER THRONE THOU SEE’ST.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
O SOVRAN LIGHT! WHO DOST EXALT THEE HIGH
ABOVE ALL THOUGHTS THAT MORTAL MAY CONCEIVE,
O PLENTEOUS GRACE THAT NERVED MY SOUL TO RAISE
SO FIXT A LOOK ON THE ETERNAL LIGHT.
THAT I ACHIEVED THE OBJECT OF MY GAZE....
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
THE GLORIOUS VISION HERE MY POWERS O’ERCAME:—
BUT NOW MY WILL AND WISH WERE SWAYED BY LOVE—
(AS TURNS A WHEEL ON EVERY SIDE THE SAME)
LOVE—AT WHOSE WORD THE SUN AND PLANETS MOVE.
