Luxuriant grows; ſuch affluence

Does glorious opportunities diſpenſe,
Giving depth of thought to find ⁠115
Purſuits which pleaſe a noble mind,

Refulgent ſtar! to man the pureſt beam of light!
The poſſeſſor of this ſtore.
Far-future things diſcerning, knows
Obdurate wretches, once deceas'd, to immediate Woes
Conſign'd, too late their pains deplore; ⁠121
For below
'E're they go,
Sits one in judgment, who pronounces right
On crimes in this wide realm of Jove; ⁠125
Whoſe dire decree no power can e'er remove:

But the good, alike by night,
Alike by day, the ſun's unclouded light
Beholding, ever bleſs'd,
Live an unlaborious life, ⁠130

Nor anxious interrupt their hallow'd reſt
