ABSTRACT
Where Folly fights for kings, or dives for gain. The good man may be weak, be indolent, 155 Nor is his claim to plenty, but content. But grant him Riches, your demand is o'er? the good want Health, the good want Pow'r ?' Add Health and Pow'r, and ev'ry earthly thing; 'Why bounded Pow'r? why private? why no king ?' 160 Nay, why external for internal giv'n? Why is not Man a God, and Earth a Heav'n ? Who ask and reason thus, will scarce conceive God gives enough, while he has more to give: Immense that pow'r, immense were the demand; 165 Say, at what part of nature will they stand?
