And drawn supports, upheld by God, or Thee?”

Say rather, Man’s as perfect as he ought.”

Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.”

an intro............
AWAKE, MY ST. JOHN! LEAVE ALL MEANER THINGS
TO LOW AMBITION, AND THE PRIDE OF KINGS.
LET US (SINCE LIFE CAN LITTLE MORE SUPPLY
THAN JUST TO LOOK ABOUT US AND DIE)
EXPATIATE FREE O’ER ALL THIS SCENE OF MAN;
A MIGHTY MAZE! BUT NOT WITHOUT A PLAN;
A WILD, WHERE WEED AND FLOW’RS PROMISCUOUS SHOOT;
OR GARDEN, TEMPTING WITH FORBIDDEN FRUIT.
TOGETHER LET US BEAT THIS AMPLE FIELD,
TRY WHAT THE OPEN, WHAT THE COVERT YIELD;
THE LATENT TRACTS, THE GIDDY HEIGHTS EXPLORE
OF ALL WHO BLINDLY CREEP, OR SIGHTLESS SOAR;
EYE NATURE’S WALKS, SHOOT FOLLY AS IT FLIES,
AND CATCH THE MANNERS LIVING AS THEY RISE;
LAUGH WHERE WE MUST, BE CANDID WHERE WE CAN;
BUT VINDICATE THE WAYS OF GOD TO MAN.
