Curiosities Respecting Magnetism

Almighty Cause! 'tis thy preserving care That keeps thy works for ever fresh and fair:

Hence life acknowledges its glorious Cause, And matter owns its great Disposer's laws; Hence flow the forms and properties of things:

Hence rises harmony, and order springs.

Thy watchful providence o'er all intends; Thy works obey their great Creator's ends.

Thee, Infinite! what finite can explore?

Imagination sinks beneath thy power.

Yet present to all sense that power remains, Reveal'd in nature, Nature's Author reigns.

The obedient steel with living instinct moves, And veers for ever to the pole it loves, So turns the faithful needle to the pole, Boyse.
