    As all Nature's thousands changes
    But one changeless God proclaim;
    So in Art's wide kingdom ranges
    One sole meaning still the same:
    This is Truth, eternal Reason,
    Which from Beauty takes its dress,
    And serene through time and season
    Stands aye in loveliness.

spontaneously, as though uncontrolled by their influence, and
which are equally excellent, whether regarded individually, or in
reference to the proposed result.
