AD ASTRA: 127 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: GRANT THAT IN MAN MAY DWELL EMPYREAL POWER
Last Line: ALLOT EACH WORLD ITS ORBIT AND ITS PLACE!
Subject(s): EARTH; SOUL; WORLD;

Grant that in Man may dwell Empyreal Power,
What may his legion'd sovereignty control?
Man, whose dominion lightens but an hour!
Whose lordship fails i' the frontiers of the Soul!
Before this New Omniscience we extol,
Let it resolve the bounds of Time and Space,
Allot each World its orbit and its place!
