"Would you then learn to dissipate the Band
" Of these huge threatning Difficulties dire,
"That in the weak Man's Way like Lions stand,
" His Soul appall, and damp his rising Fire?
"Resolve! resolve! and to be Men aspire!
" Exert that noblest Priviledge, alone,
"Here to Mankind indulg'd: controul Desire;
" Let Godlike Reason, from her sovereign Throne,
"Speak the commanding Word —  — and it is done.
