Newton, Sir Isaac


Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton be! and all was light. Pope.—Epitaph for Sir Isaac.	1
Nature herself Stood all subdued by him, and open laid Her every latent glory to his view. Thomson.	2
He also fix’d our wand’ring queen of night, Whether she wanes into a scanty orb, Or, waxing broad, with her pale shadowy light In a soft deluge overflows the sky. Thomson.	3
