Zoonomia; Or, the Laws of Organic Life, Vol. I

by Erasmus Darwin

You climb from NATURE to the throne of GOD.

55

—So saw the Patriarch with admiring eyes

From earth to heaven a golden ladder rise;

Involv'd in clouds the mystic scale ascends,

And brutes and angels crowd the distant ends.

TRIN. COL. CAMBRIDGE, Jan. 1, 1794.
