How various all, how variously endow'd, 100 How great their number, and each part how good! How perfect then must the great Parent shine, Laid the vast plan, and finish'd the defign!" WHERE-E'ER the pleafing fearch my thoughts pursue, Unbounded goodness rises to my view; Nor does our world alone its influence share THE azure kingdoms of the deep below, Thy pow'r, thy wisdom, and thy goodness show: Here multitudes of various beings stray, Croud the profound, or on the furface play: Tall navies here their doubtful way explore, 115 120 Here Here the huge potent of the scaly train An animated isle, and in his way, Dashes to heav'n's blue arch the foamy fea: When skies and ocean mingle ftorm and flame, 125 Portending inftant wreck to nature's frame, Pleas'd in the scene, he mocks, with conscious pride, The volley'd lightning, and the furging tide; And, while the wrathful elements engage, Foments with horrid fport the tempeft's rage. 130 Till the capacious wish can grasp no more.

The word, ere from my lips it part, Or forward bend my wand'ring fight, Through the wide fields of air and light; Father of all, omnifcient mind, Thy wisdom who can comprehend? Its highest point what eye can find, V hat dark recefs, what diftant clime, 15 20 25 Where |
