Description
Excerpt: BOOK THE FIRST OF bodies chang?d to various forms, I sing: Ye Gods, from whom these miracles did spring, Inspire my numbers with coelestial heat; ?Till I my long laborious work compleat: And add perpetual tenour to my rhimes, Deduc?d from Nature?s birth, to Caesar?s times. The Creation of Before the seas, and this terrestrial ball, the World And Heav'n?s high canopy, that covers all, One was the face of Nature; if a face: Rather a rude and indigested mass: A lifeless lump, unfashion?d, and unfram?d, Of jarring seeds; and justly Chaos nam?d. No sun was lighted up, the world to view; No moon did yet her blunted horns renew: Nor yet was Earth suspended in the sky, Nor pois?d, did on her own foundations lye.
