Though seen, we labour to believe it true!
What involution! what extent! what swarms
Of worlds, that laugh at earth! immensely great!
Immensely distant from each other’s spheres!
What, then, the wondrous space through which they roll?
At once it quite engulfs all human thought;
’Tis comprehension’s absolute defeat.
Nor think thou seest a wild disorder here;
Through this illustrious chaos to the sight,
Arrangement neat, and chastest order, reign. 1110
