The Prospect was the Gate of Heaven, that
The ancient Light of Eden did convey Into my Soul:
I was an Adam there,
A little Adam in a Sphere Of Joys!
O there my Ravished sense Was entertained in Paradise,
And had a Sight of Innocence.
All was beyond all Bound and Price.
An Antepast [foretaste] of Heaven sure!
I on the Earth did reign.
Within, without me, all was pure.
I must become a Child again.
