at the ROUND EARTH'S imAgined CORners BLOW

 

your TRUMpets, ANGels; and aRISE, aRISE

 

from DEATH, you NUMberless inFINities

 

of SOULS, and to your SCATtered BODies go:

 

ALL whom the FLOOD DID, and FIRE SHALL, o'erTHROW,

 

ALL whom WAR, DEARTH, AGE, Agues, TYRannies

 

desPAIR, LAW, CHANCE hath SLAIN, and YOU whose EYES

 

shall beHOLD GOD and NEVer TASTE DEATH'S WOE.
