Rh But the Creator s works cannot be numbered. The bull that is spoken of is righteousness, the offspring of mercy, Which supported by patience maintaineth the order of nature. Whoever understandeth this is a true man. What a load there is upon the bull ! Beyond this earth there are more worlds, more and more. What power can support their weight ? The names of living things, their species, and colours Have all been written with a flowing pen. Doth any one know how to write an account of them ? If the account were written, how great it would be ! What power and beautiful form are Thine, O God ! Who hath power to know how great Thy gifts are ? By one word Thou didst effect the expansion of the world, Whereby hundreds of thousands of rivers were produced. What power have I to describe Thee ? So powerless am I, that I cannot even once be a sacrifice unto Thee. Whatever pleaseth Thee is good. Thou, Formless One, art ever secure.
