"Or here on Earth in diff'rent Bodies plac'd, / Still Acts new Scenes, forgetful of the past: / Till from her dull material Chain set free, / (The mortal Curtain drawn) she smiles to see, / The various Prospects of Immensity."
Pythagoras Moriens. Paraphrased [from Translations and Poems Written on Several Subjects]
