A MORAL. 
T pause and ponder here.—Like you, mankind 
Ave born, frail insect! ignorant and blind ; 
Man’s mind—his heart, in dust and darkness furl’d, 
His bright soul’s clouded by a wintry world. 
But when this dream of life hath pass’d away— 
When this pure spirit bursts her bonds of clay 5 
Ah! then what hope to trembling man is given— 
The bless’d shall mingle with the blaze of heaven !
