And at his Voice affrighted Nature shook.
Vain Man! who boldly with dim Reason's Ray
Vies with his God, and rivals his full Day!

From no where rais'd the World's capacious Ball?
Say if thy Hand directs the various Rounds
Of the vast Earth, and circumscribes the Bounds?

In Consort move, and dance in Harmony?
What wondrous Pillars their Foundations bear
When hung self-ballanc'd in the fluid Air?
Vies with his God, and rivals his full Day!
