Give me the Pandects of the Law Divine,
Such was the Law made Moses' face to shine.
Thus beyond Saturn's heavy orb I'll tower,
And laugh at his malicious power:
180Raptur'd in contemplation thus I'll go
Above unactive earth, and leave the stars below.

Toss'd on the wings of every wind,
After these hoverings to and fro
(And still the waters higher grow),
