whither now are fled Those dreams of greatness ? those unsolid hopes Of happiness ? those longings after fame ? Those restless cares ? those busy bustling days ? Those gay-spent festive nights? those veering thoughts, Lost between good and ill, that shar'd thy life? All now are vanished ! Virtue sole survives, Immortal never-failing friend of man, His guide to happiness on high. And see ! 'Tis come, the glorious morn! the second birth 173 Of heaven and earth ! awak'ning nature hears The new-cre...ating word, and starts to life, In ev'ry heightened form, from pain and death For ever free. The great eternal scheme, Involving all, and in a perfect whole Uniting as the prospect wider spreads, To reason's eye refin'd, clears up apace. Ye vainly wise ! ye blind presumptuous ! now, Confounded hi the dust, adore that Power, And Wisdom, oft arraign'd ; see now the cause, Why unassuming worth in secret liv*d, And dy'd, neglected : why the good man's share In life was gall and bitterness of soul : W T hy the lone widow and her orphans pin'd In starving solitude, while luxury, In palaces, lay straining her low thought, To form unreal wants: why heaven-born truth, And moderation fair, wore the red marks Of superstition's scourge : why licens'd pain, That cruel spoiler, that embosom'd foe, Imbitter'd all our bliss.
