ODE XXXVII.

[Looke above, and see thy wonder]

Looke above, and see thy wonder;
Downward looke, and see it vnder;
Vpon thy Right hand, see it shine;
And meet thy Left, in the same Line;
Survay the Earth, and sound the deepe;
From those that flye, to those that Creepe,
In everie Creature: and behold,
From the base Mirtle, to the old
Maiesticke oke; veiwe everie plant,
Herbe, root, or flower; none wonder want.
Consider Springs, and as you passe,
Meet wonder in the smallest grasse.
Let even Dust and Atomes rise,
To strike new wonder in thy Eyes.
Observe the rapid orbes, and see
A Cloud beyond Discoverie.
See all about thee, and display
Thy vnderstanding to the ray
Of this combinéd Flame. This tongve
Of vniversall praise has sung
To a Deafe Eare. All obiects stand
To teach, but wee not vnderstand.
Are these obscure? or too remote?
Beyond thy notion, or thy note?
Looke at thy selfe, and wonder more;
Nature contracted in her Store.
