Through provinces of thought yet unexplored;

Teach me, by this stupendous scaffolding,

Creation’s golden steps, to climb to Thee.

Teach me with Art great Nature to control, 594

And spread a lustre o’er the shades of Night.

Feel I thy kind assent? and shall the sun

Be seen at midnight, rising in my song?

Lorenzo! come, and warm thee: thou, whose heart,

Whose little heart, is moor’d within a nook

Of this obscure terrestrial, anchor weigh.
