OF ?.U that live, and move and breathe, Man only riles o’er his birth ; lit lo- ks above, around, beneath, At once the heir of heaven and earth : Force, cunning, speed, which Na ture gave The various tribes throughout her plan, Lite to enjoy, from death to save, ihefe are the lowed powers of Man. From strength to flrcngth he trav els on, He leaves the lingering Brute behind ; And when a few (hurt years are gone He fours —a diferr.hodied mind : Beyond the grave, with hope lub lime, D dined a nobler course to run, f hts career the er.d of l ime Is but Eternity begun ! V/bat guides him in his high puvfuit < )pens, illumines, cheers his v:ay, i) < rns the Immortal front the Brute, Cod’s image front the mould of clay ? ‘i is Knowledge: Knowledge to the Sou! Is Power, and Liberty, fc Peace; And while ctch.-dial ages roll, The joys ol Knowledge (hall in ert afe. Hail to the glorious Plan! that spread ’Phis light with unive-fal beams, And through the human desert ltd I ruth’s living, pure, perpetual dreams. B Hold anew Creation rife, Nt w spirit brrathed into the clod, Where'er the Voice of Wisdom cries, * Man, know Thyfelf, and fear thy COD!” J. MONTGOMERY. Fee.
