While mortals share her useful light.
Slow in her train the moving planets all
Glide in their spheres, ambitious to pursue
Their faithful trav’ller as she scans the ball,
And with their lustre combat to outdo.
So man may shine with intellectual light,
And all his virtue to the world impart;
That distant fires his relicts may excite
To study God, and humanize the heart.
