Now charnels rattle; scatter'd limbs, and all The various bones, obsequious to the call, Self-mov'd, advance; the neck perhaps to meet The distant head; the distant legs the feet.

For Genius lives Not in your life-it does not breathe your breath, It does not share your charnels;-but insures In death itself the life that life survives!

I also read in the same piece the surprising description of how Now charnels rattle, scattered limbs, and all The various bones, obsequious to the call, Self-mov'd, advance-the neck perhaps to meet The distant head, the distant legs the feet, but rejected it as not wholly supported by the testimony of Scripture.
