UNITY. BOYSE. IN different individuals we find Hence ductile thought a thousand changes gains, SPIRITUALITY. BOYSE. THAT God's an immaterial essence pure, In good pre-eminent, in truth severe; U Unmix'd his nature, and sublimed his powers Him would in vain material semblance feign, OMNIPRESENCE. BOYSE. THROUGH th' unmeasurable tracks of space Go, Muse divine! and present Godhead trace! See where, by place uncircumscribed as time, He reigns extended, and he shines sublime! Shouldst thou above the heaven of heavens ascend, Couldst thou below the depth of depths descend, Could thy fond flight beyond the starry sphere The radiant morning's lucid pinions bear, There should his brighter presence shine confess'd, There his almighty arm thy course arrest! Couldst thou the thickest veil of Night assume, Or think to hide thee in the central gloom, Yet there, all patient to his piercing sight, Darkness itself would kindle into light: Not the black mansions of the silent grave, Nor darker hell, from his perception save; What power, alas! thy footsteps can convey Beyond the reach of omnipresent day! OMNIPOTENCE. BOYSE. WHAT hand, Almighty Architect! but thine Could give the model of this vast design? What hand but thine adjust the amazing whole, And bid consenting systems beauteous roll? What hand but thine supply the solar light? Ever bestowing, yet for ever bright! What hand but thine the starry train array, Or give the moon to shed her borrow'd ray? What hand but thine the azure convex spread? What hand but thine compose the ocean's bed? To the vast main the sandy barrier throw, And with the feeble curb restrain the foe? What hand but thine the wintry flood assuage, Or stop the tempest in its wildest rage? spiercing sight, le into light: the silent grave, erception save; Isteps can convey resent day!

Why, on the brink of Orellana's stream, Where never science rear'd her sacred torch, The untutor'd Indian dreams of happier worlds Behind the cloud-topp'd hill? Why, in each breast Is placed a friendly monitor, that prompts, Informs, directs, encourages, forbids? Tell, why on unknown evil grief attends? Or joy, on secret good? Why conscience acts With tenfold force, when sickness, age, or pain, Stands tottering on the precipice of death? Or why such horror gnaws the guilty soul Of dying sinners: while the good man sleeps Peaceful and calm, and with a smile expires? d her sacred torch, or, that prompts, l grief attends?
