Extend his arm to light another world,

And bid new planets roll by other laws.

For thro’ the regions of unbounded space, 560

Where unconfin’d omnipotence has room,

Being, in various systems, fluctuates still

Between creation and abhorr’d decay;

It ever did; perhaps and ever will.

New worlds are still emerging from the deep; 565

The old descending, in their turns to rise.
