"what though in solemn silence

all move around the dark
terrestial ball? what though
nor real voice nor sound amid
their radiant orbs be found? in
reason's ear they all rejoce
and utter forth a glorious v
voce for ever singing as
they shine. The hand that
made us id divine"

"Who gave to man that

spark of heavenly fire
That intellectual ray to
gild his gloom which
bidst him while on earth  
to heaven aspire and
look beyond the confines 
of the tomb"

" as a jewel of gold in a swine

snout so is a fair woman
without discretion"

"Who can find a virtuous

woman for her price is 
far above rubies"

"consult with reason,

reason will reply
each lucid point which
glows in yonder sky
informs a system in 
the boundless space
and fills with glory
its appointed place
with beams unbor
row'd brightens
other skies and
worlds to the 
unknown with heat
and life supples"
