[Well, God in mind of man once held at least]

Well, God in mind of man once held at least
Great show of presence. If poor man's a beast,
In some strange way the wretch hath noble dreams;
Sage, lover, poet, hero, saint, he seems,
Spells mystic meanings in the earth and skies,
Lives, dreams of Heav'n, and, like an insect, dies.
