Man's architect distinctly did ordain
The charge of muscles, nerves, and of the brain,
Through viewless spirits to dispense
The springs of motion from the seat of sense:
'Twas not the hasty product of a day,
But the well-ripen'd fruit of wise delay.
The charge of muscles, nerves, and of the brain,
Through viewless spirits to dispense
The springs of motion from the seat of sense:
'Twas not the hasty product of a day,
But the well-ripen'd fruit of wise delay.
