tis reason, lord, which thou has given
a ray divine, let down from heaven,
a spark struck from effulgent light,
transcendant, clear, - divinely bright;
thou hast bestowd lest man should grope
in endless darkness, void of hope
creative being! - who reason gave
and by whose aid the powers we have
to think, to judge, to will, to know.
from whom these reasoning powers now,
thy name be ever magnified
that thus to angels were allied,
distinguishd thus in the great chain
nor left the least in thy domain.
yet shouldst thou but a moment frown,
or wink this boasted reason down
twould level proud imperious man
with the least worm in natures plan
then humbly will i thee implore,
whom worlds of rationals adore,
that thou this taper should preserve
from reasons laws let me neer swerve,
but calmly, mistress of my mind
a friend to virtue and mankind
aid gently lead me on to peace
