His like, earth bears not on her spacious face
Alone in nature stands his dauntless race,
For utter ignorance of fear renown'd.
In wrath he rolls his baleful eye around;
Makes every swoln disdainful heart subside,
And holds dominion o'er the sons of pride.
Then the Chaldean eas'd his lab'ring breast,
With full conviction of his crime opprest.

"Thou canst accomplish all things, Lord of might! "And ev'ry thought is naked to thy sight. "But oh! thy ways are wonderful, and lie

Beyond the deepest reach of mortal eye. "Oft have I heard of thine Almighty pow'r; "But never saw thee till this dreadful hour. "O'erwhelm'd with shame, the Lord of life I see; "Abhor myself, and give my soul to thee. "Nor shall my weakness tempt thine anger more! "Man was not made to question but adore"
