That cup-maker who makes the cups of our heads
In the cup the maker made manifest his own earth
Over the table of our existence he placed an inverted cup
And he makes that inverted cup full of profit.
Payne 1898 - 273
Yon Maker of bowls, the bowl of the costard whó made,
In making of bowls His skill apparent to view made:
He set the bowl upside down on the board of our being,
And thus inverted, it full of passion's brew made.
Thompson 1906 - 276
The Bowl-maker who our head-bowls hath made,
Thus doing His own qualities portrayed;
One He inverted o'er our being's board
And to that head-bowl passion He did add.
Whinfield 1883 - 229
Many fine heads, like bowls, the Brazier made,
And thus his own similitude portrayed;
He sets one upside down above our heads,
Which keeps us all continually afraid.
