(ECONOMY 
*28 
The fea that loads our table* and conveys 
The wanderer man from clime to clime* with all 
Thofe rolling fpheres, that from on high ftied 
down 
Their kindly influence *, not theft alone. 
Which ftrike ev’n eyes incurious, but each mofs. 
Each fliell, each crawling infeft holds a rank 
Important in the plan of Him, who fram’d 
This fcale of beings ; holds a rank, which loft 
Wou’d break the chain, and leave behind a gap 
Which nature’s felf would rue. Almighty Being, 
Caufe and fupport of all things, can i view 
Thefe objedls of my wonder j can i feel 
Thefe fine fenfations, and not think of thee ? 
Thou who doft thro’ th’ eternal round of time 5 
Doft thro’ th’ immenfity of fpace exift 
Alone, (halt thou alone excluded be 
From this thy univerfe ? Shall feeble man ' 
Think it beneath his proud philofophy 
To call for thy afliftance, and pretend 
To frame a world, who cannot frame a clod ?— * 
Not to know thee, is not to know ourfelves — 
Is to know nothing — nothing worth the care 
Of man’s exalted fpirit — all becomes 
Without thy ray divine, one dreary gloom ; 
Where lurk the monfters of phantaftic brains, 
Order bereft of thought, uncaus’d effects, 
Fate
