Page 340 - Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Page 341 - Go, from the creatures thy instructions take: Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; Learn from the beasts the physic of the field; Thy arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave; Learn of the little nautilus to sail, Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale.

Thus God and nature link'd the gen'ral frame, And bade self-love and social be the same.
