 part of animated nature was created for 

 its own happinefs only, and each al- 

 lowed to appropriate to itfelf fuch a 

 portion of our common blefiings, as is 

 adequate to its power of acquilition, or 

 enjoyment, and confequently, that man, 

 who exults in the flattering idea of uni- 

 verfal dominion, and vainly imagines 

 that all Terreftrial Beings are created for 

 his ufe, like the Tiger, derives fuperio- 

 rity only from his fuperior power and 

 fagacity. 



Has God, thou fool 5 work'd folely for thy good* 

 Thy joy, thy paftime, thy attire, thy food ? 

 Who for thy table feeds the wanton fawn, 

 For him as kindly fpread the flow'ry lawn* 

 Is it for thee the lark afcends and fings ? 

 Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings. 

 Is it for thee, &c. Pope.
