O Earth, how like to Heav’n, if not preferred<\/strong><\/a>
\n More justly<\/strong><\/a>, Seat worthier of Gods, as built
\nWith second thoughts, reforming what was old!
\nFor what God after better worse would build?
\nTerrestrial Heav’n, danc’t round by other Heav’ns
\nThat shine, yet bear thir bright officious Lamps,
\nLight above Light, for thee alone, as seems, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [105]
\nIn thee concentrating all thir precious beams
\nOf sacred influence: As got in Heav’n
\nIs Centre, yet extends to all, so thou
\nCentring receiv’st from all those Orbs; in thee,
\nNot in themselves, all thir known virtue appears \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 [110]
\nProductive in Herb, Plant, and nobler birth
\nOf Creatures animate with gradual life
\nOf Growth, Sense, Reason, all summ’d up in Man.
\nWith what delight could I have walkt thee round,
\nIf I could joy in aught, sweet interchange \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [115]
\nOf Hill and Valley, Rivers, Woods and Plains,
\nNow Land, now Sea, and Shores with Forest crown’d,
\nRocks, Dens, and Caves; but I in none of these
\nFind place or refuge; and the more I see
\nPleasures about me, so much more I feel \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 [120]
\nTorment within me, as from the hateful siege
\nOf contraries; all good to me becomes
\nBane, and in Heav’n much worse would be my state.
\nBut neither here seek I, no nor in Heav’n
\nTo dwell, unless by maistring Heav’n’s Supreme; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [125]
\nNor hope to be myself less miserable
\nBy what I seek, but others to make such
\nAs I, though thereby worse to me redound:
\nFor only in destroying I find ease<\/strong><\/a> [\/]
\n To my relentless thoughts<\/strong><\/a>: and him destroy’d,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [130]
\nOr won to what may work his utter loss,
\nFor whom all this was made, all this will soon
\nFollow, as to him linkt in weal or woe,
\nIn woe then: that destruction wide may range:<\/p>\n
