The following was avrote by a Perfon on bis Misfortune of not hawing the Advantage of making nice afirona- mical Obfervations, when be firfi difcovered the COMET. AH ! there it flames, the long expefled Stax, And darts it’s awful glories from afar | Funtival at length the traveller appears From its long journey of nigh fourfcore years. Lo ! the reputed meflenger of fate, Array'd in glorious, but tremendous ftate, Moves on majeltick o’er the heav’nly plain, And fhakes dire fparkles from its fiery train, Ah / my misfortune, that I live retir'd, And nought avail me arts I orce acquir’d / Here, like an hermit, in my lonely cell, Far from the manfions where the mufes dwell, I'm forc'd to aét the common gazers part, Alas / unfarnifh'd with the aids of art. O for the tube, with philofophic eye, To trace the fhining wand’rer thro’ the fky / O for the ample arch, in nicer mode, To mark it’s ftages in its azure road ! Bat vain the with, oh ! ye that can furvey T he glorious orb, and track its wond’rous way, Ard finds its fhorteft diftance from the fource of day } While vuigar crowds'with dull attention gaze, And gaping wonder at the filver blaze ; Ye fons of fcience, from your high abodes, Difery it’s oblique path, and ma:k its nodes, Explore with what velocity it’s hurl’d, And what exat it’s period round the world. Now, now in this delightful work engage, Purfue the fteps of the {agacious fage, § § And be this wifer than the former age. I Sir Isaac NewTon. BOS T O N, May.”.
