Her secrets are extorted! Art prevails!
What monument of genius, spirit, power!
And now,
Lorenzo! raptur'd at this scene,
Whose glories render Heaven superfluous! say,
Whose footsteps these!-Immortals have been
here;

Could less than souls immortal this have done?
Earth's cover'd o'er with proofs of souls immortal,
And proofs of Immortality forgot.

To flatter thy grand foible, I confess

These are Ambition's works; and these are great: But this, the least immortal souls can do, Transcendsthem all.--But whatcan these transcend? Dost ask me what?-one sigh for the distrest. What then for Infidels? a deeper sigh.

'Tis moral grandeur makes the mighty man! How little they, who think aught great below? All our ambitions Death defeats but one,

And that it crowns.-Here cease we; but, ere long, More powerful proof shall take the field against thee,

Stronger than death, and smiling at the tomb.
