Exquisite Meaning

"For us the bee gathers, from the leaves of flowers, that exquisite honey destined for our use. For us the ox is put to the plough, and desires no other reward than a little food. It is also for us that the forests, the fields, and the gardens, abound in riches; the greatest part of which would be lost, if they were not of use to us. For us also are designed the treasures the mountains contain. It is true, that we have, beyond comparison, more wants than the brute creation ; but we have also, many more faculties, talents, and industry, to make every thing around us serve for our use and pleasure. Millions of creatures contribute towards our food, clothes, and habitations, and furnish us with innumerable conveniences and enjoyments." — 1800, Christoph Christian Sturm, Reflections for Every Day in the Year on the Works of God, and of His Providence Throughout all Nature, D. Schaw and Company, page 77:
