...the slumb'ring zest
That hardly stirs in manhood's breast;
And as the sun feeds lesser lights,
As planets have their satellites,
So round about me will I bind
The men who prize a master mind!"
He lived a silent life alone,
And laid him down when it was done;
And at his head was placed a stone
On which was carved a name unknown!

...earth, why oaks are made
Taller or stronger than the weeds they shade?
Or ask of yonder argent fields above,
Why Jove's satellites are less than Jove?

Of systems possible, if 'tis confest
That Wisdom infinite must form the best,
Where all must full or not coherent be,
And all that rises, rise in due degree;
Then, in the scale of reas'ning life, 'tis plain
There must be somewhere, such a rank as man:
And all the question (wrangle e'er so long)
Is only this, if God has plac'd ...Read more of this...

For all the inventions of man, which are good, are the communications of Almighty God.

...or joy 
And for sufficient fulness of the hour, 
Go famishing by now, and in the eyes 
Of pitying friends and dwindling satellites
Be told of no uncertain dereliction 
Touching the cold offence of my decline. 
And even if this were so, and she were here 
Again to make a fact of all my fancy, 
How should I ask of her to see with me
Through night where many a time I seem in vain 
To seek for new assurance of a gleam

...autiful gentle God by my side; 
Speeding through space—speeding through heaven and the stars;
Speeding amid the seven satellites, and the broad ring, and the diameter of
 eighty thousand miles; 
Speeding with tail’d meteors—throwing fire-balls like the rest; 
Carrying the crescent child that carries its own full mother in its belly; 
Storming, enjoying, planning, loving, cautioning, 
Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing;
I tread day and night such roads.Read more of this...

'Saint!' replied Satan, 'you do well to avenge 
The wrongs he made your satellites endure; 
And if to this exchange you should be given, 
I'll try to coax our Cerberus up to heaven!'

Here Michael interposed: 'Good saint! and devil! 
Pray, not so fast; you both outrun discretion. 
Saint Peter! you were wont to be more civil! 
Satan! excuse this warmth of his expression, 
And condescension to the vulgar's level:
