By recent argument, but not more strong.
Say, which imports more plenitude of power,
Or nature’s laws to fix, or to repeal?
To make a sun, or stop his mid career?
To countermand his orders, and send back
The flaming courier to the frighted east,
Warm’d, and astonish’d, at his evening ray?
Or bid the moon, as with her journey tired,
In Ajalon’s[67] soft, flowery vale repose?
Great things are these; still greater, to create. 1260
