First gazing thro', he by the blended power
Of  and  saw
The whole in silent harmony revolve.
From unassisted vision hid, the
To chear remoter planets numerous pour'd,
By him in all their mingled tracts were seen.
He also fix'd the wandering
Whether she wanes into a scanty orb,
Or, waxing broad, with her pale shadowy light,
In a soft deluge overflows the sky.
Her every motion clear-discerning, He
Adjusted to the mutual  and taught
Why now the mighty mass of water swells
Resistless, heaving on the broken rocks
And the full river turning; till again
The tide revertive, unattracted, leaves
A yellow waste of idle sands behind.
