    O by hese,

    Above mankinde, or aughen mankinde higher,

    Surpassest farr my naming, how may I

    Adore this Universe, [ 360 ]

    And all to man, for whose well being

    So amply, and h hands so liberal

    t provided all t h mee

    I see not ude

    happiness, who can enjoy alone, [ 365 ]

    Or all enjoying, entment find?

    tuous; and t,

    As nd, thus replid.

    callst tude, is not th

    itures, and the Aire [ 370 ]

    Replenis thy command

    to come and play before t t

    they also know,

    And reason not contemptibly; hese

    Find pastime, and beare rule; thy Realm is large. [ 375 ]

    So spake the Universal Lord, and seemd

    So ordering. I h leave of speech implord,

    And ion thus replid.

    Let not my hee, heavnly Power,

    My Maker, be propitious while I speak. [ 380 ]

    t made me itute,

    And t?

    Among unequals ie

    Can sort, ?

    be mutual, in proportion due [ 385 ]

    Givn and receivd; but in disparitie

    tense, till remiss

    Cannot e  soon prove

    tedious alike: Of fellowship I speak

    Suc to participate [ 390 ]

    All rational delige

    Cannot be ; they rejoyce

    Each Lioness;

    So fitly t combind;

    Muc, or Fish Fowle [ 395 ]

    So he Ape;

    ors t, and least of all.
