In his unfathom'd essence, view'd the forms,

The forms eternal of created things;

The radiant sun, the moon's nocturnal lamp,

The mountains, woods, and streams, the rolling globe,

And Wisdom's mien celestial. From the first

Of days, on them, his love divine, he fix'd

His admiration, till, in time complete,

What he admired and loved, his vital smile

Unfolded into being. Hence, the breath

Of life, informing each organic frame;
