And God did give the Waters charge
To bring forth moving things at large;
The living Creatures, Works most rare,
And Fowl to fly 'ith open air.

And God created mighty Whales,
And living Creatures that had Scales,
And winged Fowl of every kind,
And all was good, and to his mind.

And then God blessed them and said
A great encrease by you be made,
Let Fishes fill the Sea, so wide;
And Fowl on Earth be multiply'd.

Evening and Morning set and rose
And these the Fifth day did compose:
Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore
From first to last for evermore.
