Whilst thus engaged, high views enlarge the soul,

New interests draw, new principles control:

Nor thus the soul alone resigns her grief,

350

But here the tortured body finds relief;

For see where yonder sage Arachnè shapes

Her subtile gin, that not a fly escapes!

There Physic fills the space, and far around,

Pile above pile, her learned works abound:

Glorious their aim—to ease the labouring heart;
