Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDEFGHHIJKLHMNOO DDDPDDBlest pair of Sirens pledges of Heav'n's joy | A |
Sphere born harmonious Sisters Voice and Verse | B |
Wed your divine sounds and mixt power employ | A |
Dead things with inbreath'd sense able to pierce | C |
And to our high rais'd fantasy present | D |
That undisturbed Song of pure concent | D |
Ay sung before that saphire colour'd throne | E |
To Him that sits thereon | F |
With Saintly shout and solemn Jubilee | G |
Where the bright Seraphim in burning row | H |
Their loud up lifted Angel trumpets blow | H |
And the Cherubic host in thousand choirs | I |
Touch their immortal Harps of golden wires | J |
With those just Spirits that wear victorious Palms | K |
Hymns devout and holy Psalms | L |
Singing everlastingly | H |
That we on Earth with undiscording voice | M |
May rightly answer that melodious noise | N |
As once we did till disproportion'd sin | O |
Jarr'd against Nature's chime and with harsh din | O |
Broke the fair music that all creatures made | D |
To their great Lord whose love their motion sway'd | D |
In first obedience and their state of good | D |
And keep in tune with Heav'n till God ere long | P |
To His celestial consort us unite | D |
To live with Him and sing in endless morn of light | D |
John Milton
