"Then shall their eyes, from cloudy films secure,
" With lightning-glance unmeasur'd space behold;
"And all the thousand stars, that pave the floor
" Of heaven, with orient pearl, or living gold;
"Then floating thro' the boundless deep of air,
" An azure sea, like gems of richest hue,
"Myriads of worlds thick-scatter'd shall appear,
" With all their bright inhabitants to view:
"Their active minds shall traverse, quick as thought,
" Creation's ample fields, the range 'twixt God and nought.
