VI. What would this Man? now upward will he foar, And little lefs than angel, would be more ! 174 Now looking downwards, juft as griev'd appears To want the ftrength of bulls, the fur of bears. Made for his ufe, all creatures if he call, Sa}'' what their ufe, had he the pow'rs of all : Nature to thefe without profufion kind, The proper organs, proper pow'rs affign'd ; i8o Each feeming want compenfated of courfe, Here with degrees of fwiftnefs, there of force : ESSAY ON MAN". 5I All in exacl pro...portion to the ftate ; Nothing to add, and nothing to abate. Each beaft. Each infeft. Happy in its own : 185 Is Heav'n unkind to Man, and Man alone ? Shall he alone, whom rational we call, Be pleas'd with nothing if not blefs'd with all ? The blifs of Man (could pride that bleffing find) Is not to acl or think beyond mankind; 190 No pow'rs of body or of foul to fhare, But what his nature and his date can bear. Why has not Man a microfcopic eye ? For this plain reafon, Man is not a fly. Say what the ufe were finer optics giv'n, 195 T' infpeft a mite, not comprehend the heav'n ?
