His art acknowledge, and promote his ends.
Nor can th’ eternal rocks his will withstand; 770
What levell’d mountains! and what lifted vales!
O’er vales and mountains sumptuous cities swell.
And gild our landscape with their glittering spires.
Some mid the wondering waves majestic rise;
And Neptune holds a mirror to their charms.
Far greater still! (what cannot mortal might?)
See, wide dominions ravish’d from the deep!
The narrow’d deep with indignation foams.
