Upon list'ning to the Vibrations of a Clock . INstructive Sound ! I'm now convinc'd by Thee Time in its Womb may bear Infinity . How the past Moment dies , and throbs no more ! What Worlds of Parts compose the rolling Hour ! The least of these a serious Care demands ; For tho' they're little , yet they're Golden Sands : By some great Deeds distinguish'd all in Heav'n , For the same End to me by Number giv'n ! Cease , Man , to lavish Sums thou ne'er hast told ! Angels , tho' Deathless , dare not be so bold !
