while the bright pomp ascended jubilant。
open; ye everlasting gates; they sung; ' 565 '
open; ye heavns; your living dores; let in
the great creator from his work returnd
magnificent; his six days work; a world;
open; and henceforth oft; for god will deigne
to visit oft the dwellings of just men ' 570 '
delighted; and with frequent intercourse
thither will send his winged messengers
on errands of supernal grace。 so sung
the glorious train ascending: he through heavn;
that opend wide her blazing portals; led ' 575 '
to gods eternal house direct the way;
a broad and ample rode; whose dust is gold
and pavement starrs; as starrs to thee appeer;
seen in the galaxie; that milkie way
which nightly as a circling zone thou seest ' 580 '
pouderd with starrs。 and now on earth the seventh
eevning arose in eden; for the sun
was set; and twilight from the east came on;
forerunning night; when at the holy mount
of heavns high…seated top; th impereal throne ' 585 '
of godhead; fixt for ever firm and sure;
the filial power arrivd; and sate him down
with his great father (for he also went
invisible; yet staid; such priviledge
hath omnipresence) and the work ordaind; ' 590 '
author and end of all things; and from work
now resting; blessd and hallowd the seavnth day;
as resting on that day from all his work;
but not in silence holy kept; the harp
had work and rested not; the solemn pipe; ' 595 '
and dulcimer; all organs of sweet stop;
all sounds on fret by string or golden wire
temperd soft tunings; intermixt with voice
choral or unison; of incense clouds
fuming from golden censers hid the mount。 ' 600 '
creation and the six dayes acts they sung;
great are thy works; jehovah; infinite
thy power; what thought can measure thee or tongue
relate thee; greater now in thy return
then from the giant angels; thee that day ' 605 '
thy thunders magnifid; but to create
is greater then created to destroy。

who can impair thee; mighty king; or bound
thy empire? easily the proud attempt
of spirits apostat and thir counsels vaine ' 610 '
thou hast repeld; while impiously they thought
thee to diminish; and from thee withdraw
the number of thy worshippers。 who seekes
to lessen thee; against his purpose serves
to manifest the more thy might: his evil ' 615 '
thou usest; and from thence creatst more good。
witness this new…made world; another heavn
from heaven gate not farr; founded in view
on the cleer hyaline; the glassie sea;
of amplitude almost immense; with starrs ' 620 '
numerous; and every starr perhaps a world
of destind habitation; but thou knowst
thir seasons: among these the seat of men;
earth with her nether ocean circumfusd;
thir pleasant dwelling place。 thrice happie men; ' 625 '
and sons of men; whom god hath thus advanct;
created in his image; there to dwell
and worship him; and in reward to rule
over his works; on earth; in sea; or air;
and multiply a race of worshippers ' 630 '
holy and just: thrice happie if they know
thir happiness; and persevere upright。
so sung they; and the empyrean rung;
with halleluiahs: thus was sabbath kept。
and thy request think now fulfilld; that askd ' 635 '
how first this world and face of things began;
and what before thy memorie was don
from the beginning; that posteritie
informd by thee might know; if else thou seekst
aught; not surpassing human measure; say。 ' 640 '
the end of the seventh book。
