Oh how is the splendour and glory of the world bated & impaired since the original creation! The sky looks dusky: the Sun puts forth a drowsy head: as if he were no longer, as David once described him, like a Bride-groom coming out of his chamber, or a strong man rejoicing to run his race. The 1Moon looks pale, as if she were sick with age: and the stars do but twinkle; as if they were dim, and looked upon the earth with spectacles. The Colours of the Rain-bow are not so radiant: & the whole earth shows but like a garment often dyed, destitute of the native hew.
