...aker took such care to make,
That from himself he did the image take;
And this fair frame in shining reason dressed,

Dive into mysteries, then soaring pierce
The flaming limits of the universe,
Search heaven and hell, Find out what's acted there,
And give the world true grounds of hope and fear."

...You who desired so much--in vain to ask--
Yet fed you hunger like an endless task,
Dared dignify the labor, bless the quest--

The harvest you descried and understand
Needs more than wit to gathe...Read more of this...
