;Earth with her flowers shall sooner heaven adorn
;Heaven her bright stars, though earth's dim globe shall move
;Fire, heat shall lose; and frosts, of flames be born
;Air, made to shine, as black as hell shall prove
,Earth, heaven, fire, air, the world transformed shall view
!Ere I prove false to faith or strange to you
