And If By Prayer Incessant I Could

How Charming Is Divine Philosophy! Not Harsh And Crabb

O Why Did God, Creator Wise, That Peopled Highest Heav'n With Spirits Masculine, Create At Last This Novelty On Earth, This Fair Defect Of Nature, And Not Fill The World At Once With Men As Angels Without Feminine, Or Find Some Other Way To Generate Mankind?

And, Re-assembling Our Afflicted Powers, Consult How We May Henceforth Most Offend.

Beauty Is Nature's Brag, And Must Be Shown In Courts, At Feasts, And High Solemnities, Where Most May Wonder At The Workmanship.

But Pain Is Perfect Misery, The Worst Of Evils, And Excessive, Overturns All Patience.
