How art thou lost! what numbers canst thou choose?

A sudden blush inflames the waving sky,

And now the crimson curtains open fly;

Lo! far within, and far above all height,

Where heaven's great Sov'reign reigns in worlds of light,

Whence nature he informs, and with one ray

Shot from his eye, does all her works survey,

Creates, supports, confounds! Where time, and place,

Matter, and form, and fortune, life, and grace,

Wait humbly at the footstool of their God,
