I asked the hcavens--"Whl Nat foe to God hath


done
This unexanpIed deed"--The heavens ex-


claimed,
"rwas man; and we in holro snatch'd the sun
From such spectacle ofguilt nd shame"
ask'd the sea; the sea in fury loiled,
And answered with his voice Of .torms--s'Twas


man;
Ny wave in panic at his crime secoii'd,
DISCLOSED the abyss, and from the centre ran"
ask'd the earth the earth repledaghast,
'Twas man; and such strange pants my bosom


rent,
That still groan and shudder at thcpast"
TO man, gay, smiling, thoughtless ma, Invent
And askd him next;--He turneda scornful


eye,
Shook his proud headi and deignd memo repiy.
