| Made fair with light shade stars flowers | B |
| Made fearful and august with woods rocks | C |
| Jagg'd precipice black mountain sea in storms | D |
| Sun over all that no co rival owns | E |
| But thro' heaven's pavement rides in despite | F |
| Or mockery of the Littleness of Man | G |
| I see a mighty Arm by Man unseen | H |
| Resistless not to be controuled that guides | I |
| In solitude of unshared energies | J |
| All these thy ceaseless miracles O World | A |
| Arm of the world I view thee I muse | K |
| On Man who trusting in his mortal strength | L |
| Leans on a shadowy staff a staff of dreams | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| We consecrate our total hopes and fears | N |
| To idols flesh blood our love heaven's due | O |
| Our praise admiration praise bestowed | P |
| By man on man and acts of worship done | Q |
| To a kindred nature certes do reflect | R |
| Some portion of the glory rays oblique | S |
| Upon the politic worshipper so man | G |
| Extracts a pride from his humility | T |
| Some braver spirits of the modern stamp | U |
| Affect a Godhead nearer these talk loud | V |
| Of mind independent intellect | R |
| Of energies omnipotent in man | G |
| And man of his own fate artificer | W |
| Yea of his own life lord of the days | X |
| Of his abode on earth when time shall be | T |
| That life immortal shall become an Art | Y |
| Or Death by chemic practices deceived | Z |
| Forego the scent which for six thousand years | N |
| Like a good hound he has followed or at length | L |
| More manners learning a decent sense | A2 |
| And rev'rence of a philosophic world | A |
| Relent leave to prey on carcasses | B2 |
| - | |
| - | |
| But these are fancies of a few the rest | C2 |
| Atheists or Deists only in the name | D2 |
| By word or deed deny a God They eat | E2 |
| Their daily bread draw the breath of heaven | Q |
| Without a thought or thanks heav'n's roof to them | F2 |
| Is but a painted ceiling hung with lamps | G2 |
| No more that light them to their purposes | H2 |
| They 'wander loose about ' They nothing see | T |
| Themselves except and creatures like themselves | I2 |
| That liv'd short sighted impotent to save | J2 |
| So on their dissolute spirits soon or late | K2 |
| Destruction cometh 'like an armed man ' | - |
| Or like a dream of murder in the night | F |
| Withering their mortal faculties breaking | L2 |
| The bones of all their pride | M2 |
