Despise not what is wonderful, when all things are wonderful around thee.
From the multitude of like effects, thou sayest, Behold a law:
And the matter thou art baffled in unmaking, is to thy mind an element.
Then look abroad, I pray thee, for analogy holdeth everywhere,
And the Maker hath stamped His name on every creature of His hand:
I know not of a matter or a spirit, that is not three in one,
And truly should account it for a marvel, a coin without the image of its Cæsar.
Man talketh of himself as ignorant, but judgeth by himself as wise:
His own guess counteth he truth, but the notions of another are his scorn;
But bear thou yet with a brother, whose thought may be less subtle than thine own,
