To the Ingenious AUTHOUR, Mrs. IANE BARKER, ON HER POEMS.I.AS in the ancient Chaos, from whose WombThe Universe did come;All things confus'd, disorder'd were,No signs o'th' luster, which did after graceThe whole Creation's face;Nothing of Beauty did appear,But all was a continu'd boundless space,Till the Almighty's powerfull Command,Whose Action ev'r more quick than thought,The Infant World out of confusion brought;Whose all-commanding hand,With Beasts & Trees did bounteously adorn the fruit∣full Land.0
