Here liesIsaac Newton, Knight,Who, by a Vigour of Mind almost supernatural,First demonstratedThe Motions and Figures of the Planets,The Paths of the Comets, and the Tides of the Ocean.He diligently investigatedThe different Refrangibilities of the Rays of Light,And the Properties of the Colours to which they give rise.An assiduous, sagacious, and faithful InterpreterOf Nature, Antiquity, and the Holy Scriptures,He asserted his Philosophy of the Majesty of God,And exhibited in his conduct the Simplicity of the Gospel.Let mortals rejoiceThat there has existed such and so greatAn Ornament of Human Nature.
