235 Sin'b here, shrewd reasoner, so eager to prove that thou must perish, I note a sneer upon thy lip, and ridicule is haply on thy tongue : How, said he, — creature of a God, and are not all his creatures, — The lion, and the gnat, — yea, the mushroom, and the crystal, — ^have all these a soul V Thy fancies tend to prove too much, and overshoot the mark : If I die not with brutes, then brutes must live with me ? — I dare not tell thee that they will, for the word is not in my eommis^ sion ; Bu...t of the twain it is the likelier ; continuance is the chance : Men, dying in their sins, are likened unto beasts that perish ; They are dark, animal, insensate, but have they not a lurking soul 1 The spirit of a man goeth upward, reasonable, apprehending God ; The spirit of a beast goeth downward, sensual, doting on the crea- ture: • Who told thee they die at dissolution? boldly think it out, — The multitude of Jlies, and the multitude of herbs, the world with all its beings : Is Infinity too narrow.
