Of moment infinite! but relish’d most

By those who love Thee most, who most adore. 670

Nature, thy daughter, ever-changing birth

Of Thee the Great Immutable, to man

Speaks wisdom, is his oracle supreme;

And he who most consults her, is most wise.

Lorenzo, to this heavenly Delphos haste;

And come back all-immortal, all-divine:

Look nature through, ’tis revolution all;

All change; no death. Day follows night; and night
