Bound for eternity! in bosoms read
By Him, who foibles in archangels sees!
On human hearts He bends a jealous eye,
And marks, and in heaven’s register enrols,
The rise, and progress, of each option there;
Sacred to doomsday! That the page unfolds, 50
And spreads us to the gaze of gods and men.
And what an option, O Lorenzo, thine!
This world! and this, unrivall’d by the skies!
A world, where lust of pleasure, grandeur, gold,
