The Creation, Hob.Xxi:2: Pt. 2, In Native Worth And Honour Clad

In native worth and honour clad, with beauty, courage, strength adorn'd, to heav'n erect and tall, he stands a man, the Lord and King of nature all. The large and arched brow sublime of wisdom deep declares the seat, and in his eyes with brightness shines the soul, the breath and image of his God. With fondness leans upon his breast the partner for him form'd, a woman fair and graceful spouse. Her softly smiling virgin looks, of flow'ry spring the mirror, bespeak him love, and joy, and bliss.
