Who analyzes human destiny,
And finds in all its threads a providence;
Who worships nature second but to God,
And casts himself into the beautiful,
The spiritual forms of God's benevolence,
Even with a rapturous faith, a sateless joy;
Whose heart from youth to age its freshness keeps,
Watered by dews, and fed by suns divine.
