VAGRANT VERSE
THE STARRE What ever ’tis, whose beauty here below Attracts thee thus, and makes thee stream and flow, And wind and curie, and wink and smile, Shifting thy gate and guile; Though thy close commerce nought at all imbarrs My present search, for eagles eye not starrs; And still the lesser by the best And highest good is blest; Yet seeing all things that subsist and be Have their commissions from Divinitie, And teach us duty, I will see What man may learn from thee. —Henry Vaughan, 1654.
