Station Branch

“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
