beasts are running around fruitlessly, hunbTIY for food.
Who is there to enjoy, the frabJTance from the godly soul scented with the
Lord's name, and his blossoming glance? The miracles of nature, the moon,
the stars, the breeze, are enjoying the ecstasy, and the saintly souls of the
unseen world are swarming around the godly soul, like the black bee hovering
