Sida 18 - Tis heat intense to what can there be known ; Warmer our poles than is its burning zone. Who there inhabit must have other powers, Juices, and veins, and sense, and life, than ours.

Sida 18 - Through his vast orbit Saturn wheels away. How great the change could we be wafted there ! How slow the seasons ! and how long the year ! One moon, on us, reflects its cheerful light : There, five attendants brighten up the night. Here, the blue firmament bedeck'd with stars ; There, over-head, a lucid arch appears.
