If it were genius did the digging-job,

Logic would speedily sift its product smooth

And leave the crude truths bare for poetry;

But I 'm no poet, and am stiff i' the back.

What one spread fails to bring, another may.

In goes the shovel and out comes scoop—as here!

I live to please myself. I recognize

Power passing mine, immeasurable, God—

Above me, whom he made, as heaven beyond

Earth—to use figures which assist our sense.
