Its very brightness makes it near the eye,
Tho' many thousand leagues beyond the sky.
Its beams by violence
Invade, and ravish distant sense.

No certainty, where no perfection's, shewn.
Extremities of blessedness
Compel us to confess
A God indeed, Whose excellence
In all His works must needs exceed all sense.
