Stars

The heavens are beautified
With strange stars
Who journeyed from their own sky
To pitch their tents amid our stars;

Seeing the unusual events
Some forced comets
Come from hidden airy tents
Blowing resonant trumpets;

A violent tiff is raging:
Some natural stars are falling

Like a wary young triton
Another comet comes: alone!
She comes to this bear-garden
Singing the imminence of nature’s return.
