Amaz'd, the wonders of thy God behold,

And meditate his mercies manifold.

O! happy time, when shaking off this clay,

The human soul at liberty shall stray

Through all the works of nature !-shall descry

Those Objects which evade the mortal eye!

No distance, then, shall stretch beyond its flight,
No smallness 'scape its penetrating sight;

But, in their real essence, shall be shown

WORLDS unexplor'd, CREATIONS yet unknown.*

* From this short view of nature, we may perceive that the study thereof is, (next to the duties of religion) one of the most noble employments of the mind of man: and he whose principal delight is in the contemplation of the magnificence and splendor of creation, and in the adoration of the Almighty Author thereof, seems to be duly preparing himself for the full enjoyment of intellectual happiness, in a future state of existence.
