Days, months, and years, towards his all-cheering Lamp
Turn swift thir various motions, or are turnΓÇÖd
By his Magnetic beam, that gently warms
The Universe, and to each inward part
With gentle penetration, though unseen,
Shoots invisible virtue even to the deep:
So wondrously was set his Station bright.
There lands the Fiend, a spot like which perhaps
Astronomer in the SunΓÇÖs lucent Orb
Through his glazΓÇÖd Optic Tube yet never saw.
The place he found beyond expression bright,
ComparΓÇÖd with aught on Earth, Metal or Stone;
Not all parts like, but all alike informΓÇÖd
With radiant light, as glowing Iron with fire;
If metal, part seemΓÇÖd Gold, part Silver clear;
