    Soul living, each that crept, which plenteously
    The waters generated by their kinds,

    And lakes and running streams the waters fill;
    And let the fowl be multiplied on the earth.

    The melting voice through mazes running,
    Untwisting all the chains that tie
    The hidden soul of harmony;
