10“Still” changed to “To” in 4th edn. (1748) and following.
The meanest worm that creeps on earth
Is not below thy care;
And we, altho’ of humble birth,
Thy God-like bounty share.
Whoe’er thy being dare dispute
Are silenc’d here with ease;
The stones themselves would them confute,
If we should hold our peace.
Th’ Almighty be their strong defence,
And multiply their store,
Who still concur with providence,
Still aid and bless the poor.
