The Introduction.
While inconsiderate here I play
The uncertain Trifle, Life, away,
Let me indulge a solemn Hour,
And view the Race of Adam o'er;
On Contemplation's Pinions rove
To Worlds below and Worlds above.
The uncertain Trifle, Life, away,
Let me indulge a solemn Hour,
And view the Race of Adam o'er;
On Contemplation's Pinions rove
To Worlds below and Worlds above.

What different Scenes around me rise!
What different Prospects strike mine Eyes!
What strange, what various Characters
The self-same human Nature wears!
What different Prospects strike mine Eyes!
What strange, what various Characters
The self-same human Nature wears!
