18 ページ - Tis heat intense to what can there be known ; Warmer our poles than is its burning zone. Who there inhabit must have other powers, Juices, and veins, and sense, and life, than ours. One moment's cold, like theirs, would pierce the bone, Freeze the heart's blood, and turn us all to stone.'* BAKER'S Universe.

5 ページ - Diff'rent his Track, but conftant his Career, Divides the Times, and meafures out the Year. To Climes returns where freezing Winter reigns, Unbinds the Glebe, and fructifies the Plains. The crackling Ice diflblves : the Rivers flow : Vines crown the Mountain Tops, and Corn the Vales below.
18 ページ - Through his vast orbit Saturn wheels away. How great the change could we be wafted there ! How slow the seasons ! and how long the year !
