The Atheist sure no more can boast aloud

15

Of chance, or nature, and exclude the God;
As if the clay without the potter's aid
Should rise in various forms, and shapes self-made,
Or worlds above with orb o'er orb profound

Self-mov'd could run the everlasting round.

20

It cannot be—unerring Wisdom guides
With eye propitious, and o'er all presides.

Still prosper, Amory! still may'ft thou receive
The warmest blessings which a muse can give,

And when this transitory state is o'er,

25

When kingdoms fall, and fleeting Fame's no more,
May Amory triumph in immortal fame,
A nobler title, and superior name!
