"The love of Nature's works 

 Is an ingredient in the compound man. 

 Infused at the creation of the kind. 



And, though th' ALMIGHT\' MAKER has throughout 

 Discriminated eacli from eacli, by strokes 

 And touches of His hand, with so much art 

 Diversified, tliat two were never found 

 Twins at all points — yet this obtains in all. 

 That all discern a beauty in His works, 

 And all can taste them. Minds that have been form'd 

 And tutor'd, with a relish more exact, 

 .But none without some relish, none unmoved." — Cowper's; Task, U. IV.
