[Religion's union with the great—the deep]
Religion's union with the great—the deepPhilosophy, shall be high good for man;
And well for thee 'twill be to tower i' the van
Of such fair blest atchievement: thou shalt reap,
For thy sublime exploit, that which shall steep
Thy Soul in lofty joy—the mighty clan
Of Philosophic Spirits—from the ban
Of Heterodoxy freed—shall then to the heap
Of their rich treasures, add the richest far,
And as in Knowledge, in Devotion thine,
The Astronomer shall consecrate each Star
To its Creator's glory, and the mine
Of wealth that the laborious chemists dare
To explore, shall prompt and raise, true thoughts of Power Divine!
