 Th' Involuntary well directed Fry,

The unknown omething readily obey.

No Pilot can with more Exactnes teer,

Not Sun or Moon divides the Year.

Not the revolving Stars their Coure obey•

Not Darknes can ucceed the Day,

With a more punctual teady Pace,

In Manner, Meaure, Time and Place;

True to the very Ditance of the Shore,

They'r never, where they never were before

Where there's but few, there ever was but few,

To ev'ry Circumtance o true.

Such Coures teer, uch Orders keep,

Thro' all the wandring Mazes of the Deep;

As if the Ancient Paths they could dicry,

Or read their Father's Hitory:

Then Caledonians lend an humble Ear,

And your own ill accepted Bleings hear,

From the profound unmeaur'd Deeps

Where Nature all her Wonders keeps.

Her Handmaid Intinct, this Blet Meage gave

To all the Watry Crew beneath the Watry Cave.
