Thus, casually, to fill a vacant Rome,
These Midnight Musings into words are come,
Compos'd in haste; which will (it may be) keep
Some Readers, waking, when they thought to sleep,
To meditate, upon that End and Use,
Whereto, such Thoughts, most properly conduce;
And, learn, whil'st they amongst Disorders dwell,
To trust in him, who Orders all things well.
