POETIC A L. BOOK THE FIRST. SACRED AND MORAL. §1. An Address to the Deity. Thomson. FATHE § 2. Adam and Eve, in a Morning Hymn, call upon all the Parts of the Creation to join with them in extolling their common Maker. Milton. THESE are Thy glorious works, Parent of good, Moon, that now meet'st the orient sun, now fly'st And ye five other wand'ring fires that move $3. On the Deity. Mrs. Barbauld. In ev'ry leaf that trembles to the breeze Thy hopes shall animate my drooping soul, Thy precepts guide me, and thy fear control: Thus shall I rest, unmov'd by all alarms, Secure within, the temple of thine arms, From anxious cares, from gloomy terrors free, And feel myself omnipotent in thee. Then when the last, the closing hour draws nigh, And earth recedes before my swimming eye; Thy providence my life sustain'd, And all my wants redress'd, When in the silent womb I lay, And hung upon the breast.

Tho' in the paths of Death I tread, $6. Another Hymn, from the beginning of the 19th Psalm. Addison. THE spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled Heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th' unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wond'rous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth, Repeats the story of her birth: Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm |
