Chain
 
The chain that’s fixed to the throne of Jove,
On which the fabrick of our world depends;
One link dissolved, the whole creation ends.
        Waller.—On His Majesty’s danger at St. Andero, Verse 168.		  1
Vast chain of being!
From Nature’s chain whatever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth breaks the chain alike.
        Pope.—Essay on Man, Epi. I. Line 237.		  2
