Has matter more than motion?—has it thought,
Judgment, and genius?—is it deeply learn’d
In mathematics? Has it fram’d such laws,
Which but to guess a Newton made immortal?—
If so, how each sage atom laughs at me,
Who thinks a clod inferior to a man!
If art to form, and counsel to conduct,
And that with greater far than human skill,
Resides not in each block—a Godhead reigns—
And if a God there is, that God how great!”
