    O by what Name, for thou above all these,

    Above mankinde, ht then mankinde higher,

    Surpassest farr my naming, how may I

    Adore thee, Author of this Universe, [ 360 ]

    And all this good to man, for whose well being

    So amply, and with hands so liberal

    Thou hast provided all things: but with mee

    I see not who partakes. In solitude

    What happiness, who  enjoy alone, [ 365 ]

    Or all enjoying, what te find?

    Thus I presumptuous; and the visiht,

    As with a smile more brightnd, thus replid.

    What callst thou solitude, is not the Earth

    With various living creatures, and the Aire [ 370 ]

    Replenisht, and all these at></a> thy and

    To e and play before thee; knowst thou not

    Thir language and thir wayes? They also know,

    And reason not ptibly; with these

    Find pastime, and beare rule; thy Realm is large. [ 375 ]

    So spake the Universal Lord, and seemd

    So . I with leave of speech implord,

    And humble deprecation thus replid.

    Let not my words offend thee, Heavnly Power,

    My Maker, be propitious while I speak. [ 380 ]

    Hast thou not made me here thy substitute,<cite>藏书网</cite>

    And these inferiour farr beh me set?

    Among unequals what societie

    sort, what harmonie or true delight?

    Which must be mutual, in proportion due [ 385 ]

    Givn and receivd; but in disparitie

    The oehe other still remiss

    ot well suite with either, but soon prove

    Tedious alike: Of fellowship I speak

    Such a<samp></samp>s I seek, fit to participate [ 390 ]

    All rational delight, wherein the brute

    ot be human sort; they rejoyce

    Each with thir kinde, Lion with Lioness;

    So fitly them in pairs thou hast bind;

    Much less  Bird with Beast, or Fish with Fowle [ 395 ]

    So well verse, nor with the Ox the Ape;

    Wors then  Man with Beast, a of all.
