m So reads he Nature, whom the lamp of truth 845 Illuminates. Thy lamp, mysterious Word ! Which whoso sees, no longer wanders lost, With intellects hemazed in endless doubt, But runs the road of wisdom. Thou hast built With means'that were not, till by thee employ'd. 850 Worlds that had never been, hadst thou in strength Been less, or less benevolent than strong. They are thy witnesses, who speak thy power And goodness infinite, but speak in ears That hear not, or receive not their report. ' 85...5 In vain thy creatures testify of thee, Till thou proclaim thyself. Theirs is indeed A teaching voice ; but 'tis the praise of thine That whom it teaches it makes prompt to learn, And with the boon gives talents for its use. 860 Till Thou art heard, imaginations vain Possess the heart, and fables false as hell, Yet deem'd oracular, lure down to death The uninform'd and heedless souls of men. We give to chance, blind chance, ourselves as blind. 865 The glory of thy work ; which yet appears Perfect and unimpeachable of blame, Challenging human scrutiny, and proved Then skilful most when most severely judged.
