Through the fix'd stars; sees round each blazing sun
Unnumber'd systems in their journey run,
To gild th' extended space of yet untravel'd skies.
Or tends the rapid comet in his flight;
Returning dread from Heav'n's most distant pole,
He wheels the centre like a fiery goal;
Then flies again to vex the realms of ancient Night.
Great Nature! workmanship divine,
What human thought can trace thy line!
Fair Idea of th' eternal Mind,
How glorious He who first design'd
Thy glorious frame! sole great and good,
When shall his ways be understood!
His works since hid through Nature's bound,
How shall Heav'n's Architect, himself unsearchable, be found?

To face each danger, when in arms grown old?
