Subject(s): Creation; God; Religion; Theology
In His own image God created Man,
And over all things gave him godlike power—
A mind that may His World-Creation scan,
With Conscience as his spiritual dower:
A gift that should preserve him, lest he lower
His nature to the beast which doth not change
But down the ages prowls the selfsame range.
