"I've a mighty part within / That the world hath never seen, / Rich as Eden's happy ground, / And with choicer plenty crown'd: / Here on all the shining boughs / Knowledge fair and useful grows; / On the same young flow'ry tree / All the seasons you may see; / Notions in the bloom of light, / Just disclosing to the sight; / Here are thoughts of larger growth, / Rip'ning into solid truth; / Fruits refin'd, of noble taste; / Seraphs feed on such repast."
