How widely differ, yet how nearly blend!

What various passions war on either part,

And now confirm, now melt the yielding heart;

How Fancy loves around the world to stray,

While Judgment slowly picks his sober way!

The stores of memory, and the flights sublime

Of genius, bound by neither space nor time—

All these divine Philosophy explores,

300

Till, lost in awe, she wonders and adores.
