More fortunate the way the rocks are made,

Insensate, undesired; for us a sorrier plight.

I order all the fictions of the past,

Deductions from the facts, to fashion law,

But analyzed, all things I ever saw,

Will not maintain a symmetry to the last.

No law will hold;

And though I tear the soil, am overbold,

Twisting and turning from the ultimate mould,

I cannot ever catch to bind God fast.
