Of spirits, toil’d in travel through this vale.
Nor of that pillow shall my soul despond;
For—Love almighty! Love almighty! (sing,
Exult, creation!) Love almighty, reigns!
That death of Death! that cordial of despair!
And loud Eternity’s triumphant song!
“Of whom, no more:—For, O thou Patron-God!
Thou God and mortal! thence more God to man! 2348
Man’s theme eternal! man’s eternal theme!
Thou canst not ’scape uninjured from our praise.
