Upon Bishop Andrewes's Picture before His 'Sermons'

This reverend shadow cast that setting sun

Whose glorious course through our horizon run

Left the dim face of this dull hemisphere

All one great eye, all drowned in one great tear.

Whose fair illustrious soul led his free thought

Though learning's universe, and (vainly) sought

Room for her spacious self, until at length

She found the way home: with an holy strength

Snatched herself hence to heaven; filled a bright place

Mongst those immortal fires; and on the face

Of her great maker fixed her flaming eye,

There still to read true pure divinity.

And now that grave aspéct hath deigned to shrink

Into this less appearance: if you think

'Tis but a dead face art doth here bequeath,

Look on the following leaves and see him breathe.

– Richard Crashaw (1631)
