Lumen de Lumine

Under this shade and skreen did lodge a number of Nightingals, which I discovered by their whitish Breasts. These peeping thorough their leavie Cabinets, rejoyced at this strange Light, and having first plum'd themselves, stirr'd the still Ayre with their Musick. This I thought was very pretty, for the silence of the Night, suiting with the solitude of the place, made me judge it heavenly. The Ground both neer and far of, presented a pleasing kind of Checquer, for this new star meeting with some drops of Dew, made a Multitude of bright Refractions, as if the Earth had been paved with Diamonds.
