Who, from the exhaustless granary of Heaven,

Receives the blessings so profusely given,

Looks with a curious eye on Nature’s face,

Forever beaming with a new-born grace,

And dares with impious voice aloud proclaim

He knows no Heaven but this—no God but Fame.

Lord, in refusing to acknowledge Thee,

Vain man denies his own reality;

But tho’ the boon of life he may receive

From God, and still affect to disbelieve,
