To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shall he alone, whom rational we call.
Be pleas'd with nothing, if not bless'd with all ?
The bliss of man (could pride that blessing find), 190 Is not to act or think beyond mankind ; No powers of body or of soul to share, But what his nature and his state can bear.
Why has not man a microscopic eye ?
For this plain reason, man is not a fly.
195 Say what the use, were finer optics giv'n, To inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n ?
Or touch, if tremblingly alive all o'er, To smart and agoniz...e at every j^ore ?
Or quick effluvia darting through the brain, 200 Die of a rose in aromatic pain ?
If Nature thunder'd in his opening ears, And stunn'd him with the music of the spheres, How would he wish that Heav'n had left him still The whisp'ring zephyr and the purling rill !
205 Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies ?
VII. Far as creation's ample range extends.
The scale of sensual, mental powers ascends.
Mark how it mounts to man's imperial race, 210 From the green myriads in the peopled grass ; W^hat modes of sight betwixt each wide extreme, The mole's dim curtain, and the lynx's beam : Of smell, the headlong lioness between.
