about

From Book VII of John Milton's "Paradise Lost," in which an angel describes how God created the universe.

lyrics

Silence, ye troubled waves
thou deep, peace, your discord end:
Far into chaos
and the world unborn.

The golden compasses
to circumscribe this universe
One foot centered,
and the other turned.

Round vast profundity obscure,
thy just circumference
matter unformed
covered the abyss.

And vital virtue infused
throughout the fluid mass
like to like,
spun out the air.

Earth on her center hung
sprung from the deep
for yet the Sun was not,
cloudy tabernacle sojourned

Divided, thus the hollow universal orb filled.
