Thou of this love and wisdom mayst the rays
Discern in all His works, His power and praise
That tell around us, in the wondrous scale
Of high perfection which they all detail;
The order which they follow in the laws,
That bind and keep them, and that show their cause,
The ends of love and pity in their frame:
These their Creator’s goodness all proclaim.
Be this thy learning, this thy glory’s view;
If virtuous, thou art wise and happy too.
