Raphael Describes Creation<br />
Cheribum on wings uplifted watched as<br />
Round through the vast profunditie<br />
Extended the Paternal Glorie into Chaos<br />
And all creat’d things sprung from the deep.<br />
This fluid massey darkness he infused.<br />
Infernal adverse to life where fire <strong>and</strong> darkness surged<br />
Our Infinite Father downward purged, to<br />
Notoreous tartareous, Infernal dregs.<br />
Disparted the rest to several places,<br />
Earth self balanc’t on her center hung.<br />
Sprung from her native East<br />
Cloudy radiance first of all things,<br />
Radiant cloud for yet the sun was not but<br />
In a cloudie Tabernacle sojourn’d.<br />
By <strong>and</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>and</strong> each to thir own,<br />
Ev’ng <strong>and</strong> Morn he named,<br />
Divided Light the Day <strong>and</strong> Darkness Night<br />
