March 9, 1741.
A HYMN to the CREATOR.
Jovis Omnia plena.
HOW shall an earthly Muse, pretend,
Her humble Verse to raise;
Since all the Host of Heav'n contend,
Who shall out shine in Praise ?
Where e're O God, I turn mine Eyes,
Thy Wisdom is display'd;
E'en I myself, Myself surprize ;
So fearfully I'm made.
When to the Deep I bend my Sight,
The long extended Main
Bids me to tremble at his Might.
Who can his Force restrain ?
Full mighty are the Tempests great,
That vex and rule the Sea :
But He that Tempests doth create,
Is mightier far than they.
He frowns and lo ! the forceful Tide
In huge up-lifted Mountains roars :
He smiles; they stand abas'd, subside,
Fly quickly to the Shores.
Say Sun and Moon, where were ye hid,
Before ye knew the Skies ?
Say Heav'n of Heav'ns, by whom ye did
Out of Confusion rise ?
See dark and lucid Orbs advance
In differing Curves on high
Bold and harmonious is the Dance.
But who knows how, or why ?
Thou Nurse and Grave of Men, old Earth,
His Pow'r immense declare,
Who with a Fiat gave thee Birth,
And flung thee in the Air.
Who made thy Mountains and thy Rocks;
Who is it daily fills
Thy Herds and all thy fleecy Flocks,
Upon a thousand Hills ?
But what are Herds and Flocks to those
His Kindness doth supply;
The Creatures of ten thousand Worlds
Beyond the Reach of human Eye ?
And the Creation over pass'd,
Where Night and Silence reign :
The great interminable Vast
Is all his wide Domain.
In various Wonders I am lost,
Yet still the Subject fires :
For to applaud Thee. O Thou know'st
Is what my Soul desires.
But there's no End, should I rehearse
In what my God doth shine;
For all Things in the Universe
Proclaim his Pow'r Divine.

FRIENDSHIP in DEATH. To which is added
Letters Moral and Entertaining. By Mrs. ELIZ. ROWE.
The Drift of the Letters from the Dead, is (as Dr. Young, the Author of Universal Passion, expresses it) to impress the Notion of the Soul's Immortality, and to make the Mind familiar with the Thoughts of our future Existence, by Writings address'd to the Affections and Imagination. It may be added,
That the Design both of these, and the Letters Moral and Entertaining, is, by fictitious Examples of the most generous Benevolence and heroic Virtue, to allure the Reader to the Practice of every thing that ennobles Human Nature and Benefits the World; and by just and lively Images of the sharp Remorse and real Misery that attends the false and unworthy Satisfactions of Vice, to warn the young and unthinking from being seduced by the enchanting Name of Pleasure to inevitable Ruin.
The Sentiments are refined and pure, the Descriptions lively and charming, and as to the Stile, there in nothing in Musick more sweet and harmonious than the Periods thereof.
To be SOLD,
