Upon what base was fixt the Lath, wherein
He turn’d this Globe, and riggalld it so trim?
Who blew the Bellows of his Furnace Vast?
Or held the Mould wherein the world was Cast?
Who laid its Corner Stone? Or whose Command?
Where stand the Pillars upon which it stands?
Who Lac’de and Fillitted the earth so fine
With Rivers like green Ribbons Smaragdine?
Who made the Sea’s its Selvedge, and its locks
Like I Quilt Ball within a Silver Box?
Who Spread its Canopy? Or Curtains Spun?
Who in this Bowling Alley bowld the Sun?
Edward Taylor, 1644(?) – 1729
