Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT BOUND MAY WE ASSIGN
Last Line: OF ALL THAT CREATURES' WIT CAN COMPREHEND.
What bound may we assign,
O God, to any work of Thine!
Their endlessness discovers Thee
In all to be divine;
A Deity,
That wilt for evermore exceed the end
Of all that creatures' wit can comprehend.
