Sonnet

The azured vault, the crystal circles bright,
The gleaming fiery torches powder'd there;
The changing round, the shining beamy light,
The sad and bearded fires, the monsters fair;
The prodigies appearing in the air;
The rearding thunders and the blust'ring winds;
The fowls in hue and shape and nature rare,
The pretty notes that wing'd musicians finds;
In earth, the sav'ry flowers, the metall'd minds*; {mines}
The wholesome herbs, the hauty pleasant trees,
The silver streams, the beasts of sundry kinds,
The bounded roars and fishes of the seas--
All these, for teaching man, the Lord did frame
To do His will whose glory shines in thame*. {them}: James Charles Stuart, King James I
