To think her part was don  
And that her raign had here its last fulfilling;  
She knew such harmony alone  
Could hold all Heav'n and Earth in happier union.  
XI  
At last surrounds their sight  
A globe of circular light,  
110  
That with long beams the shame faced night arrayed  
The helmed Cherubim  
And sworded Seraphim,  
Are seen in glittering ranks with wings displaid,  
Harping in loud and solemn quire,  
With unexpressive notes to Heav'ns new-born Heir.  
XII  
Such Musick (as 'tis said)  
Before was never made,  
But when of old the sons of morning sung,  
While the Creator Great  
His constellations set,  
120  
And the well-ballanc't world on hinges hung,  
And cast the dark foundations deep,  
And bid the weltring waves their oozy channel keep.
