There, thou dost understand

The motions of the secret hand,

That guides th' invisible wheel,

80Which here, we ne'er shall know, but ever feel;

There Providence, the vain man's laughing-stock,

The miserable good-man's stumbling-block,

Unfolds the puzzling riddle to thy eyes,

And its own wise contrivance justifies.

What timorous man wouldn't be pleas'd to die,

To make so noble a discovery?
