For Solomon, He Lived At

A Boundless Continent, Dark, Waste, And Wild, Under The Frown Of Night Starless Expos'd.

Virtue, Which Breaks Through Opposition And All Temptation Can Remove, Most Shines, And Most Is Acceptable Above.

Virtue May Be Assailed, But Never Hurt, Surprised By Unjust Force, But Not Enthralled.

The World Was All Before Them, Where To Choose Their Place Of Rest, And Providence Their Guide: They Hand In Hand, With Wandering Steps And Slow, Through Eden Took Their Solitary Way.

Apostate, Still Thou Err'st, Nor End Wilt Find Offering, From The Paths Of Truth Remote.
