What ardour, care, and counsel, mortals cause 1078

In breasts divine! how little in their own!

Where’er I turn, how new proofs pour upon me!

How happily this wondrous view supports

My former argument! How strongly strikes

Immortal life’s full demonstration, here!

Why this exertion? Why this strange regard

From heaven’s Omnipotent indulged to man?—

Because, in man, the glorious dreadful power,

Extremely to be pain’d, or bless’d, for ever.
