To climes more temperate , to realms more blest ? * Tis that great God supreme who reigns above , Enthron'd in glory which no mortal
man Yet has , or can , or ever will conceive , "Who myriads and myriads of worlds , By his almighty fiat quick produced ; "Who keeps them still in their eternal
course , At first prescribed ; inviolate : ' tis He , * Tis He , who shews these birds their only road . — What father ' s care , oh God , can equal thine
O ' er ali thy wond ' rous -works ! What tender love Shines forth conspicuous through fihe whole machine !

Ye glittering spheres that roll above tr ^ e sky Innumerable , thou radiant orb Of light that rul ' st the day , and thou pale moon That ^ fejf the silent night as chief pre' 4 ici ' st , To God omnipotent sing forth your praise . — Thou earth , and sea , and all that ye
* contain , In hymns of praise to your Creator join ] Lct all created beings swell the sound !

To learned Athens , led by fame , As once the man of Tarsus came , With pity and surpr ^ e , 'Midst idol altars , as he stood , P ' er sculptur'd marble , brass and wood , He roll'd his awful eyes .
But one , apart , his notice caught , That seemed with higher meaning fraught , Graven on the wounded stone : Nor form , nor name was there express ed ; Deep reverence filled the musing breast , Perusing ' * To the God unknown . " Age after age has rolled away , Altars and thrones have felt decay , Sages and sajnts have risen ; And . like a giant rou * ed from sleep

Man has explored the pathless deep . And lightnings snatched frori * heaven . And many a shrine in dust is laid , Where kneeling nations homage paid , By rock , or fount , or grove . Ephesian Dian sees no more Her workmen fu ^ e the silver ore , Nor capitolian Jove . Even Salem ' s hallowed courts have ceas ' d With solemn pomps her tribes to feast 5 . No more the victim bleeds : To censers , filled with rare perfumes , And vestments from Egyptian looms , A purer rite succeeds . Yet still , where ' er presumptuous man His Maker ' s essence strives to scan , And lifts his feeble hands ; Tho' saint and sa ^ e their powers unite , To fathom that abyss of light , Ah ! still that altar stands .

LINES On the Hope of a Resurrection , OCCASIONED BY THE DfcATH OF W . Britcher . Hail ! glorious Hope , rich treasureof the soul !
Thou best of blessings from a hand divine ; O may each passion yield to thy control , And Nature ' s tears give place to smiles of thine !
Yes , tho' no more his mortal tongue shall charm , Or sweet instruction from his lips sha ^ l flow ; Though Friend hip ' s flame no more his breast shall warm ; No more his presence grace these scenes below .
Though the fond bosom heaves the mournful ijgh ; Though Friendship ' s falling tear laments its loss , Still " Hope stands pointing" to the realms on high , ^ ' Prepared by him who triumph'd oer the cross !
On wings of Faith to those bright courts we soar , And view that future land of life and peace ; Where we shall meet him whom we now deplo . e , Where Friendship ' s sacred joys shall ne * ver cease .
