Till life's mechanics can no further go—

And all this joy in natural life is put

Like fire from off thy finger into each,

So exquisitely perfect is the same.

But 't is pure fire, and they mere matter are;

It has them, not they it: and so I choose

For man, thy last premeditated work

(If I might add a glory to the scheme),

That a third thing should stand apart from both,

A quality arise within his soul,
