32.

Man is the aim and end of what exists;
As forces at his earthly birth prepare
For him the needed food, and he subsists
Within the womb as kindly Nature lists,
So Love and Wisdom, present everywhere,
Provide the suns and earths for his abode
While, all unconscious, he is unaware
Of his condition, or whence leads the road
That he henceforth must tread, as others erst have trode.
