\ " / , A tJreation's God shall creature strain declare ? 



^ The Great First Cause of water, eeirth and air ! 

 Hence living fungi, lichens, musci, trees, 

 And germs and foes akin existences ! 



Shine on, sweet Nature, infinite thy store ! 

 Yet, fond I follow with my finite lore : 

 And here this pen thy lab'rinth path defines 

 As it hath trac'd it 'mid the Firs and Pines.
