I saw a Peacock with a fiery tail

I saw a Peacock with a fiery tail, Anon ' I saw a Peacock with a fiery tail I saw a blazing comet drop down hail I saw a Cloud with Ivy circled round I saw a sturdy Oak creep on the ground I saw a Pismire swallow up a whale I saw a raging Sea brim full of Ale I saw a Venice Glass sixteen foot deep I saw a Well full of men`s tears that weep I saw their eyes all in a flame of fire I saw a House as big as the Moon and higher I saw the sun even in the midst of night I saw the Man that saw this wonderous sight.'
