Son-days, Henry Vaughan[1]	Sabbothau Bywyd cyf Anthropos[2]
BRIGHT shadows of true rest! some shoots of bliss; Heaven once a week; The next world's gladness preposses'd in this; A day to seek Eternity in time; the steps by which We climb above all ages; lamps that light Man through his heap of dark days; and the rich And full redemption of the whole week's flight! The pulleys unto headlong man; Time's bower; The narrow way; Transplanted Paradise; God's walking hour, The cool o' th' day! The creature's jubilee; God's parle with dust; Heaven here; man on those hills of myrrh, and flowers; Angels descending; the returns of trust; A gleam of glory after six-days-showers! The Church's love-feasts; Time's prerogative, And interest Deducted from the whole; the combs, and hive, And home of rest. The milky way chalk'd out with suns; a clue That guides through erring hours; and in full story A taste of heav'n on earth; the pledge and cue Of a full feast; and the out-Courts of glory.	DELWEDDAU disglaer ydynt O'r nef-orphwysfa wir, A grisiau aur i esgyn I fryniau'r sanctaidd dir: Llusernau claer i'n harwain Drwy dywell nos y byd, Ac yn y maith anialwch— Cysgodion melus, clyd: Mynyddoedd y perlysiau, Lle crwydra engyl hedd, Pelydrau o ogoniant Drwy gymyl du eu gwedd; Gorsafoedd ar ein gyrfa, Lle ceir y manna cudd, Allanol byrth Paradwys— Cynteddau gwlad y dydd'
