Prayer the church's banquet,
angel's age,
God's breath in man
returning to his birth,
The soul in
paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,
The Christian plummet sounding heaven and
earth
Engine against th'
Almighty, sinner's tower,
Reversed thunder,
Christ-side-piercing spear,
The six-days world transposing in an hour,
A kind of tune, which all things hear and
fear;
Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and
bliss,
Exalted manna, gladness of the
best,
Heaven in ordinary, man well dressed,
The milky way, the bird of Paradise,
Church-bells beyond the stars
heard, the soul's blood,
The land of spices; something
understood.
