Son=dayes.

Bright shadows of true Rest! some shoots of blisse;
Heaven once a week;

The next world's gladness prepossest in this;
A day to seek

Eternity in time; the steps by which

We climb above all ages; Lamps that light
Man through his heay of dark days; and the rich
And full redemption of the whole week's flight.

The milky way chalkt out with Suns, a clue
That guides through erring hours; and in full story
A taste of Heaven on earth; the pledge and cue
Of a full feast; and the out-courts of glory.

HENRY VAUGHAN, 17th Century.
