 The red Globule is the unwearied Sun by Los created

To measure Time and Space to mortal Men every morning.

Bowlahoola & Allamanda are placed on each side

Of that Pulsation & that Globule, terrible their power.

But Rintrah & Palamabron govern over Day & Night

In Allamanda & Entuthon Benython where Souls wail:

Where Orc incessant howls burning in fires of Eternal Youth,

Within the vegetated mortal Nerves; for every Man born is joined

Within into One mighty Polypus, and this Polypus is Orc.

But in the Optic vegetative Nerves Sleep was transformed

To Death in old time by Satan the father of Sin & Death:

And Satan is the Spectre of Orc, & Orc is the generate Luvah.

But in the Nerves of the Nostrils, Accident being Formed

Into Substance & Principle, by the cruelties of Demonstration

It became Opake & Indefinite: but the Divine Saviour

Formed it into a Solid by Los's Mathematic power.

He named the Opake, Satan: he named the Solid, Adam.

And in the Nerves of the Ear (for the Nerves of the Tongue are closed)

On Albion's Rock Los stands creating the glorious Sun each morning,

And when unwearied in the evening he creates the Moon,

Death to delude, who all in terror at their splendor leaves

His prey while Los appoints, & Rintrah & Palamabron guide,

The Souls clear from the Rock of Death, that Death himself may wake

In his appointed season when the ends of heaven meet.

Then Los conducts the Spirits to be Vegetated into

Great Golgonooza, free from the four iron pillars of Satan's Throne,

Temperance, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, the four pillars of tyranny,

That Satan's Watch-Fiends touch them not before they Vegetate.

But Enitharmon and her Daughters take the pleasant charge

To give them to their lovely heavens till the Great Judgment Day:

Such is their lovely charge. But Rahab & Tirzah pervert

Their mild influences, therefore the Seven Eyes of God walk round

The Three Heavens of Ulro where Tirzah & her Sisters

Weave the black Woof of Death upon Entuthon Benython,

In the Vale of Surrey where Horeb terminates in Rephaim.

The stamping feet of Zelophehad's Daughters are cover'd with Human gore

Upon the treddles of the Loom: they sing to the winged shuttle

The River rises above his banks to wash the Woof: 30
