"Ye pale Inhabitants of Night,
Before my intellectual Sight
In solemn Pomp ascend:
O tell how trifling now appears
The Train of idle Hopes and Fears
That varying Life attend.
Ye faithless Idols of our Sense,
Here own how vain your fond Pretence,
Ye empty Names of Joy!
Your transient Forms like Shadows pass,
Frail Offspring of the magic Glass,
Before the mental Eye.
The dazzling Colours, falsely bright,
Attract the gazing vulgar Sight
With superficial State:
Thro' Reason's clearer Optics view'd,
How stript of all it's Pomp, how rude
Appears the painted Cheat.

O'er Nature's soft Repose;
No low'ring Cloud obscures the Sky,
No ruffling Tempest blows.
Now ev'ry Passion sinks to Rest,
The throbbing Heart lies still:
And varying Schemes of Life no more
Distract the lab'ring Will.
In Silence hush'd, to Reason's Voice,
Attends each mental Pow'r:
Come dear Emilia, and enjoy
Reflexion's fav'rite Hour.

"Croiriez-vous, mon bon ami, que de ces tristes réflexions & de ces contradictions apparentes se formèrent dans mon esprit les sublimes idées de l’âme, qui n’avaient point jusque-là résulté de mes recherches? En méditant sur la nature de l’homme, j’y crus découvrir deux principes distincts, dont l’un l’élevoit à l’étude des vérités éternelles, à l’amour de la justice & du beau moral, aux régions du monde intellectuel dont la contemplation fait les délices du sage, & dont l’autre le ramenoit bassement en lui-même, l’asservissoit à l’empire des sens, aux passions qui sont leurs ministres, & contrarioit par elles tout ce que lui inspiroit le sentiment du premier. En me sentant entraîné, combattu par ces deux mouvements contraires je me disois: Non, l’homme n’est point un: je veux & je ne veux pas, je rue sens à la fois esclave & libre; je vois le bien, je l’aime, & je fais le mal; je suis actif quand j’écoute la raison, passif quand mes passions m’entraînent; & mon pire tourment quand je succombe est de sentir que j’ai pu résister.

"The soul may be compared to a field of battle, where two armies are ready every moment to encounter; not a single vice but has a more powerful opponent; and not one virtue but may be overborne by a combination of vices. Reason guides the bands of either host, nor can it subdue one passion but by the assistance of another. Thus, as a bark on every side beset with storms, enjoys a state of rest, so does the mind, when influenced by a just equipoise of the passions, enjoy tranquility.
