Da poi che sotto 'l ciel cosa non vidi	A
	-
	-
When all beneath the ample cope of heaven	B
I saw like clouds before the tempest driven	B
In sad vicissitude's eternal round	A
Awhile I stood in holy horror bound	A
And thus at last with self exploring mind	A
Musing I ask'd What basis I could find	A
To fix my trust An inward voice replied	A
Trust to the Almighty He thy steps shall guide	A
He never fails to hear the faithful prayer	C
But worldly hope must end in dark despair	C
Now what I am and what I was I know	D
I see the seasons in procession go	D
With still increasing speed while things to come	E
Unknown unthought amid the growing gloom	F
Of long futurity perplex my soul	G
While life is posting to its final goal	G
Mine is the crime who ought with clearer light	A
To watch the winged years' incessant flight	A
And not to slumber on in dull delay	H
Till circling seasons bring the doomful day	H
But grace is never slow in that I trust	A
To wake the mind before I sink to dust	A
With those strong energies that lift the soul	G
To scenes unhoped unthought above the pole	G
While thus I ponder'd soon my working thought	A
Once more that ever changing picture brought	A
Of sublunary things before my view	I
And thus I question'd with myself anew	I
What is the end of this incessant flight	A
Of life and death alternate day and night	A
When will the motion on these orbs impress'd	A
Sink on the bosom of eternal rest	A
At once as if obsequious to my will	J
Another prospect shone unmoved and still	J
Eternal as the heavens that glow'd above	K
A wide resplendent scene of light and love	K
The wheels of Phoebus from the zodiac turn'd	A
No more the nightly constellations burn'd	A
Green earth and undulating ocean roll'd	A
Away by some resistless power controll'd	A
Immensity conceived and brought to birth	L
A grander firmament and more luxuriant earth	L
What wonder seized my soul when first I view'd	A
How motionless the restless racer stood	A
Whose flying feet with winged speed before	M
Still mark'd with sad mutation sea and shore	M
No more he sway'd the future and the past	A
But on the moveless present fix'd at last	A
As at a goal reposing from his toils	N
Like earth unclothed of all its vernal foils	N
Unvaried scene where neither change nor fate	A
Nor care nor sorrow can our joys abate	A
Nor finds the light of thought resistance here	O
More than the sunbeams in a crystal sphere	P
But no material things can match their flight	A
In speed excelling far the race of light	A
Oh what a glorious lot shall then be mine	Q
If Heaven to me these nameless joys assign	Q
For there the sovereign good for ever reigns	R
Nor evil yet to come nor present pains	R
No baleful birth of time its inmates fear	P
That comes the burthen of the passing year	P
No solar chariot circles through the signs	S
And now too near and now too distant shines	S
To wretched man and earth's devoted soil	T
Dispensing sad variety of toil	T
Oh happy are the blessed souls that sing	U
Loud hallelujahs in eternal ring	U
Thrice happy he who late at last shall find	A
A lot in the celestial climes assign'd	A
He led by grace the auspicious ford explores	V
Where cross the plains the wintry torrent roars	V
That troublous tide where with incessant strife	W
Weak mortals struggle through and call it life	W
In love with Vanity oh doubly blind	A
Are they that final consolation find	A
In things that fleet on dissolution's wing	U
Or dance away upon the transient ring	U
Of seasons as they roll No sound they hear	O
From that still voice that Wisdom's sons revere	P
No vestment they procure to keep them warm	X
Against the menace of the wintry storm	X
But all exposed in naked nature lie	Y
A shivering crowd beneath the inclement sky	Y
Of reason void by every foe subdued	A
Self ruin'd self deprived of sovereign good	A
Reckless of Him whose universal sway	H
Matter and all its various forms obey	H
Whether they mix in elemental strife	W
Or meet in married calm and foster life	W
His nature baffles all created mind	A
In earth or heaven to fathom or to find	A
One glimpse of glory on the saints bestow'd	A
With eager longings fills the courts of God	A
For deeper views in that abyss of light	A
While mortals slumber here content with night	A
Though nought we find below the moon can fill	J
The boundless cravings of the human will	J
And yet what fierce desire the fancy wings	Z
To gain a grasp of perishable things	Z
Although one fleeting hour may scatter far	A2
The fruit of many a year's corroding care	C
Those spacious regions where our fancies roam	B2
Pain'd by the past expecting ills to come	E
In some dread moment by the fates assign'd	A
Shall pass away nor leave a rack behind	A
And Time's revolving wheels shall lose at last	A
The speed that spins the future and the past	A
And sovereign of an undisputed throne	C2
Awful eternity shall reign alone	C2
Then every darksome veil shall fleet away	H
That hides the prospects of eternal day	H
Those cloud born objects of our hopes and fears	D2
Whose air drawn forms deluded memory bears	E2
As of substantial things away so fast	A
Shall fleet that mortals at their speed aghast	A
Watching the change of all beneath the moon	F2
Shall ask what once they were and will be soon	F2
The time will come when every change shall cease	G2
This quick revolving wheel shall rest in peace	G2
No summer then shall glow nor winter freeze	H2
Nothing shall be to come and nothing past	A
But an eternal now shall ever last	A
Though time shall be no more yet space shall give	I2
A nobler theatre to love and live	J2
The wing d courier then no more shall claim	K2
The power to sink or raise the notes of Fame	K2
Or give its glories to the noontide ray	H
True merit then in everlasting day	H
Shall shine for ever as at first it shone	C2
At once to God and man and angels known	C2
Happy are they who in this changing sphere	P
Already have begun the bright career	P
That reaches to the goal which all in vain	L2
The Muse would blazon in her feeble strain	L2
But blest above all other blest is he	M2
Who from the trammels of mortality	M2
Ere half the vital thread ran out was free	M2
Mature for Heaven where now the matchless fair	C
Preserves those features that seraphic air	C
And all those mental charms that raised my mind	A
To judge of heaven while yet on earth confined	A
That soft attractive glance that won my heart	A
When first my bosom felt unusual smart	A
Now beams now glories in the realms above	K
Fed by the eternal source of light and love	K
Then shall I see her as I first beheld	A
But lovelier far and by herself excell'd	A
And I distinguish'd in the bands above	K
Shall hear this plaudit in the choirs of love	K
Lo this is he who sung in mournful strains	R
For many years a lover's doubts and pains	R
Yet in this soul expanding sweet employ	N2
A sacred transport felt above all vulgar joy	N2
She too shall wonder at herself to hear	O
Her praises ring around the radiant sphere	P
But of that hour it is not mine to know	D
To her perhaps the period of my woe	D
Is manifest for she my fate may find	A
In the pure mirror of the eternal mind	A
To me it seems at hand a sure presage	O2
Denotes my rise from this terrestrial stage	P2
Then what I gain'd and lost below shall lie	Y
Suspended in the balance of the sky	Y
And all our anxious sublunary cares	E2
Shall seem one tissue of Arachne's snares	E2
And all the lying vanities of life	W
The sordid source of envy hate and strife	W
Ignoble as they are shall then appear	P
Before the searching beam of truth severe	P
Then souls from sense refined shall see the fraud	A
That led them from the living way of God	A
From the dark dungeon of the human breast	A
All direful secrets then shall rise confess'd	A
In honour multiplied a dreadful show	D
To hierarchies above and saints below	D
Eternal reason then shall give her doom	F
And sever'd wide the tenants of the tomb	F
Shall seek their portions with instinctive haste	A
Quick as the savage speeds along the waste	A
Then shall the golden hoard its trust betray	H
And they that mindless of that dreadful day	H
Boasted their wealth its vanity shall know	D
In the dread avenue of endless woe	D
While they whom moderation's wholesome rule	Q2
Kept still unstain'd in Virtue's heavenly school	Q2
Who the calm sunshine of the soul beneath	R2
Enjoy'd will share the triumph of the Faith	S2
	-
These pageants five the world and I beheld	H
The sixth and last I hope in heaven reveal'd	H
If Heaven so will when Time with speedy hand	H
The scene despoils and Death's funereal wand	H
The triumph leads But soon they both shall fall	T2
Under that mighty hand that governs all	T2
While they who toil for true renown below	D
Whom envious Time and Death a mightier foe	D
Relentless plunged in dark oblivion's womb	F
When virtue seem'd to seek the silent tomb	F
Spoil'd of her heavenly charms once more shall rise	U2
Regain their beauty and assert the skies	U2
Leaving the dark sojourn of time beneath	R2
And the wide desolated realms of Death	V2
But she will early seek these glorious bounds	W2
Whose long lamented fall the world resounds	W2
In unison with me And heaven will view	I
That awful day her heavenly charms renew	I
When soul with body joins Gebenna's strand	H
Saw me enroll'd in Love's devoted band	H
And mark'd my toils through many hard campaigns	W2
And wounds whose scars my memory yet retains	W2
Blest is the pile that marks the hallow'd dust	H
There at the resurrection of the just	H
When the last trumpet with earth shaking sound	H
Shall wake her sleepers from their couch profound	H
Then when that spotless and immortal mind	H
In a material mould once more enshrined	H
With wonted charms shall wake seraphic love	K
How will the beatific sight improve	X2
Her heavenly beauties in the climes above	K

Happy those souls who now are on their way	H
Or shall hereafter to attain that end	H
Theme of my argument come when it will	J
And 'midst the other fair and fraught with grace	W2
Most happy she whom Death has snatch'd away	H
On this side far the natural bound of life	W
The angel manners then will clearly shine	Q
The meet and pure discourse the chasten'd thought	H
Which nature planted in her youthful breast	H
Unnumber'd beauties worn by time and death	V2
Shall then return to their best state of bloom	F
And how thou hast bound me love will then be seen	Y2
Whence I by every finger shall be shown	C2
Behold who ever wept and in his tears	W2
Was happier far than others in their smiles	W2
And she of whom I yet lamenting sing	U
Shall wonder at her own transcendant charms	W2
Seeing herself far above all admired	H
