For all we know
Of what the blessed do above
Is, that they sing, and that they love.

The chain that's fixed to the throne of Jove,
On which the fabric of our world depends,
One link dissolved, the whole creation ends.

So all we know of what they do above
Is that they happy are, and that they love.
