No speach, no language under sky, which hath not heard their voice: Their woords through earth to ends of world run ruled with glorious noise. He here the Sun in bour hath placed: the sun, like bridegrome brave Who coming foorth, like Giant stout to run his race dooth crave.

Unto a bride grome stately trim'd nothing hid from his heat. 24.-Some Psalms, by Bishop Joseph Hall. 1624. fol. Psalm viii. 1.
