    And now where e’re he strayes
    Among the Galilaean mountains,
    Or more unwelcome wayes,
    Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
    Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
    Portable and compendious Oceans.

    Welcome, all wonders in one night!
    Eternity shut in a span,
    Summer in winter, day in night,
    Heaven in earth, and God in man.
    Great Little One! Whose all-embracing birth
    Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heaven to earth.
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
